X Sports Pro Racing and
NBC Sports Group un-
veiled the television broadcast
schedule for the 2016 Lucas Oil
Pro Motocross Championship,
sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing.
The upcoming season will see
more than 60 hours of coverage
featured on NBC, NBCSN, and
MAVTV throughout the 12-round
championship, highlighted by
nearly 40 hours of live coverage
and three different hour-long
showcases on NBC.
In addition to the television
broadcast schedule, ProMoto-
cross.com will stream every round
and provide exclusive coverage
of practices and a Live Pre-Race
Show "The Starting Gate" (all only
available on digital) that provides
behind-the-scenes access to the
races. All content will be streamed
live on ProMotocross.com and
NBC Sports Live Extra (available
at iTunes App Store and Android
App Store). Fans across the coun-
try can watch the action unfold in
all 24 motos of the championship
as it happens through the con-
venience of a cell phone, tablet,
laptop, computer or streaming
device (Apple TV, Roku).
For the eighth consecutive
season, NBC will carry three
rounds of the championship live,
bringing the Lucas Oil Pro Moto-
cross Championship into millions
of homes. The Red Bull High
Point National (June 18), Red Bull
Muddy Creek Tennessee National
(June 25), and the anticipated
return of the Red Bull Southwick
National (July 9) will each feature
an hour-long live broadcast of the
final 450 moto.
MAVTV will serve as the
home of the opening motos for
both the 450 and 250 class
all season long, showcasing a
live two-hour block of coverage
to kick off each round of the
championship. NBCSN will carry
coverage of the second motos
for the 450 class, and will serve
as the permanent home of sec-
ond moto coverage of the 250
class throughout the season.
NBCSN will feature 10 hours of
live coverage, as well as high-
light shows for each round of the
championship. Additionally, a
special midseason recap show
and season-ending recap shows
for both the 450 and 250 class
results in a total of 36 hours of
coverage on NBCSN.
The broadcast team for the
2016 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross
Championship will once again
feature Jason Weigandt as host,
handling play-by-play duties during
the races, with former Lucas Oil
Pro Motocross Champion Grant
Langston serving as the color
analyst in the booth. Trackside

breaking news from the pits.
