January 17, 2026 Episode 13 - 'Behind the Broadcast' - Richard Coventry: BSB TV Director
What actually goes into putting British Superbike racing on your TV screens every race weekend?

In Episode 13 of The Outside Line, we head behind the broadcast with Richard Coventry, the BSB Race & Presentation TV Director and the man responsible for turning flat-out racing into the live coverage we all watch at home.

From camera placement and director calls to live decision-making, storytelling, and capturing the moments that matter, Cov breaks down how a BSB race weekend is broadcast, and what viewers never get to see or hear. We explore the pressure of live television, how races are shaped for the audience, working with commentators and production crews, and how modern broadcast tech has changed the way motorsport is consumed.

If you’ve ever wondered how the racing you love actually makes it to air, this is the ultimate TV broadcast episode.

🎥 Behind-the-scenes insights
🏁 Live race direction & storytelling
🎙 Working with commentators & crews
📡 The tech that brings BSB to life

A must-listen for motorsport fans, media nerds, and anyone curious about what happens beyond the pit wall.
