MOTOAMERICA ANNOUNCES TV TALENT
F
ormer World Superbike an-
nouncer Jonathan Green
will pair up with two-tine World
Superbike Champion Colin
Edwards in the booth for CBS
Sports Network's coverage of
the 2015 MotoAmerica AMA/FIM
North American Road Racing
Series. Motorsports TV person-
ality Cristy Lee will round out the
trio as pit reporter for the nine-
round series that gets started
at the Circuit of the Americas in
Austin, Texas, April 10-12.
Green is one of the world's
leading motorsports broadcast-
ers with more than 20 years in
the sport as producer, present-
er, reporter and commentator.
Green is one of a handful in his
field who has covered both two
and four-wheel motorsport from
Formula One to Moto GP and
World Superbikes to Indy Car.
"I am delighted to be part of
this excellent broadcast team,"
Green said via a release. "I will
be putting all of my well-known
energy and enthusiasm into the
job of helping make MotoAmer-
ica the best National champion-
ship in the world and I can't wait
to get started."
Fan favorite and recently re-
tired MotoGP racer Edwards has
always been known to be candid
and should be an interesting ad-
dition to the team.
"I'm very excited for this new
adventure with MotoAmerica,"
Edwards said. "I've always been
a little vocal during my career
and a big part of that is wanting
people to feel like they know
who I really am. Since retiring
and looking forward to this new
chapter, my plan is to con-
tinue being vocal so you all will
know what's really going on out
there."
Lee is a lifelong motorsports
enthusiast, an amateur road
racer and a broadcaster with
10 years of experience as a pit
reporter in motorsports rang-
ing from motocross to off-road
trucks to AMA Superbike rac-
ing. She is also the host of the
Barrett-Jackson auto auctions
and the show All-Girls Garage.
"I'm really excited for a new
road racing series with Mo-
toAmerica," Lee said. "I'm
ecstatic to be part of this new
series and to be in the pits once
again, as I have been for the
past couple of years."
All MotoAmerica events will
be telecast on CBS Sports
Network, as part of a
multi-year agreement
between Torque.TV and
CBS Sports Network. Ex-
tensive digital coverage of
the MotoAmerica Series,
including event highlights,
features and other con-
tent will also be featured
on www.Torque.TV.
The 2015 television
schedule will be released
at a later date.
