CHEQUERED FLAG TV SHOW CELEBRATES 20 YEARS

Australian Speedways oldest weekly TV show, Chequered Flag, returns for its 20th anniversary season tomorrow night on ...Fox Sports 5.

The one hour television show, inaugurated the very day that cable subscription television was launched in Australia, two decades ago, will once again be produced by Power Productions, one of the nation’s leading and most diverse television production companies.

CHEQUERED FLAG TV SHOW, the brain child of host and executive producer, David Tapp, has a wonderful history of showcasing oval track racing’s premier events and this season’s thirty week schedule will be no exception.

“We are extremely proud of the show’s longevity,” Tapp enthused.

“There are very few television shows anywhere in the world that last 20 years and it is a credit to all the people involved in the series; not least of which are our dedicated viewers that have supported the program for a very long time. The CHEQUERED FLAG TV SHOW is an institution in national motorsport and I’m very grateful to have been involved in a project that has stood the test of time. I am particularly indebted to Optus Vision, that originally screened the program before we moved the show to Fox Sports some 15 years ago.”

Tomorrow night’s season opening episode, to be screened at 9.30pm EDST on Fox Sports 5, will feature highlights of the Spectrum Direct Sidecar Spring Nationals, staged at Gosford Showground on the NSW Central Coast.

Chequered Flag will be screened every Wednesday night for the next thirty weeks and will also be replayed a further two times each week; meaning the 2014/15 series will be seen a staggering 90 times !
