Duke Video's archive acquired by Motorsport Network

Major boost for Motorsport.tv

Motorsport Network has acquired Duke Video's archive of motorsport films.

It follows the recent announcement that Motorsport Network and Motorsport.tv would feature the entire film history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The agreement will be a major boost for Motorsport.tv's archive.

The Duke Video catalogue includes over 1,500 titles and more than 2,500 hours of content including rally, sports cars and touring cars, as well as an unmatched collection of bike racing.

TT films dating back to 1948 and World Championship motorcycle sports from the 1980s form the heart of the collection.

Motorsport Network's Chairman, Zak Brown, says Duke has been a staple of the sport for four decades, and the company is excited to be able to expand the availability of the content to audiences through Motorsport.tv's broadcast and OTT capability.
