The reach of the Champ Car Radio Network will get a nationwide extension for the Champ Car races in Toronto and Montreal as it was announced today that those events will be carried live on XM Satellite Radio throughout North America.
The broadcasts of the racing events, which can be found on XM 205, were made possible through an agreement made with XM Satellite Radio Canada and includes six hours of coverage from each event. There will be two hours from Saturday's final qualifying at Toronto and Montreal and four hours live coverage on race day for each event.
"We are excited about the possibility that this agreement holds for the events in Toronto and Montreal," said Champ Car President Steve Johnson. "Anything we can do to bring Champ Car action to our fans is important to us and we look forward to doing that with XM Satellite Radio."
The Molson Champ Car Grand Prix of Toronto takes place July 7-9 while the Grand Prix of Montreal will be contested August 25-27. Both will be available to each of XM Satellite Radio's 6.5 million subscribers both in Canada and the United States.
"XM Canada is very pleased to add two of the biggest open-wheel racing events in Canada to our industry-leading lineup of major league sports," said XM Vice President of Programming Ross Davies. "We are committed to providing compelling Canadian sports content and the Toronto and Montreal Champ Car World Series races are the latest reason why more listeners who want the best in sports coverage wherever they go in Canada are tuning in to XM."
