The Racing Network, the first multi-channel 24-hour satellite-delivered network devoted to worldwide racing, has announced that it is now fully operational and will begin shipping its small dish, direct-to-home satellite system to its first pre-registered subscribers in the U.S.

According to a recent press release, the satellite network is now producing programming content from the more than 50 thoroughbred and harness tracks that have agreed to be content providers. Three of the network's four U.S. channels are available today as operations begin, with the fourth becoming operational the week of April 19. Orders for the 24-hour service are being taken at 1-877-2GET-TRN and additional information can be found on the Internet at www.trn.com.
