In partnership with DCAL, Coleraine Borough Council and NITB, a new organisational structure has been introduced for the North West 200. Co-ordinated by Race Director Mervyn Whyte, the structure now consists of seven managers, each responsible for various aspects of the event. Mervyn Whyte will have overall responsibility for the running of the event.
Media partner
BBC Northern Ireland continues as the official media partner for this year’s event. Once again, the BBC will give extensive coverage to the North West 200 across all three platforms; on-line, television and radio.
Shane Glynn, Editor Sport, BBC Northern Ireland said: “This is the first year of our new five year contract to cover the North West 200. We’ve established a very strong, collaborative working relationship with Mervyn Whyte and his team from the Coleraine club, and we’ll be using that to help us build on the success of our output up to now, and to provide bike fans with the best possible coverage of the North West, online, and on TV and radio.â€
