Morgantown, WV - The ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG), in cooperation with AMA Racing and the ATVA, announce that the ATVA ITP/Moose ATV National Motocross Championships Presented by Parts Unlimited will enjoy a full season on television coverage on the Versus Network (formerly Outdoor Life Network) starting April 18th. Shows will air every Wednesday at 3 p.m. "We're excited about the new TV package for 2007," said Sam Gammon of the ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG). "People are amazed at what the stars of ATVA motocross can do on America's premier motocross tracks, and we're going to bring that excitement to TV sets across the country all year long."
Shows are produced jointly between the ATVPG and Gear Media and Marketing Inc, the same group that brought the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series (GNCC) back to television in 2005. GMMI's experience with the GNCC TV package led them to create the Racer TV program, which airs both the GNCC events and the ATVA MX programs each week on Versus.
