LIVE TV coverage will return to a North-East racecourse for the first time in 18 months.
A media rights deal means all the action from Sedgefield, County Durham's only racecourse, will be shown live on Attheraces starting from the next meeting on Monday.
Following the collapse of the Racing Channel in January last year, Sedgefield Racecourse has not been shown on television other than in betting shops.
General manager Jim Allen said: "We are, of course, delighted to be back on the television."
Monday's meeting, with the first race at 2.30pm, will incorporate a family fun day. Family tickets are £20 and are available by calling (01740) 621925.
