Manx Radio TT put fans at the heart of the action
Manx Radio TT celebrates 50th anniversary at 2014 Isle of Man TT Races
Manx Radio first broadcast on Senior Race Day in June 1964, meaning this year's event will mark fifty years of continuous coverage of the world's greatest road races.
For 2014 the station will take to the airwaves on Monday 26th May from 7.30am bringing a mixture of music, news and entertainment as well as its qualifying and race commentary service throughout the fortnight.
There are two new additions to the team this year; former British Champion and TT race winner Chris Palmer and journalist and TT artist Rachel Clegg.
Palmer, who rounded off his Mountain Course career with two wins in the inaugural Classic TT meeting last year, will join Chris Kinley for extensive coverage of all the evening practice sessions.
Rachael Clegg, whose father Noel is an ex-TT racer, is joining Marc Tyley as co-presenter and interviewer on the TT Diner chat show.
Chris Kinley will again host the morning slots from the studio in the Sure Shop at the back of the Grandstand but he'll also be taking the programme on the road to Billown, Creg-ny-Baa and campsites around the island for live shows featuring leading TT stars.
The afternoon 'After Burner' show, features Manx Radio’s Breakfast host Chris Williams while Stu Peters and Simon Quine will take the evening slot, playing a wide and eclectic mix of tracks.
The Manx Radio TT commentary team is once more anchored by Tim Glover, Dave Christian at Glen Helen and the 'King of Ramsey Hairpin' Roy Moore keeping the fans in the picture. Chris Kinley will be patrolling the startline, pitlane and parc ferme providing live updates and getting the inside track from riders as they leave the line and return to the grandstand.
