At The Races is a UK television channel, founded by Channel 4, but now owned by a partnership between British Sky Broadcasting, Arena Leisure PLC and 28 (out of the 59) UK racecourses.
The station is focused on horse racing from the UK, Ireland, North America and France, showing many live races and related shows. The station is a commercial station, running advert breaks, and is "affiliated" with various betting companies, since gamblers are generally the sports main audience.
The channel was partly revamped, as of June 2006, and now has a weekday lineup of:
- 11:00am - Racing News
- 11:30am - Get On!
- 12:15pm - Racing Today
- 1:00 thru late - Racing Live
Aside from having reporters on course, the channel runs from a main studio, and a production area called 'The Booth'. Different presenters are often frequently found in one area only. Before live racing starts, guests are often interviewed, viewer e-mails read, and banter exchanged from the studios.
