TT live on TV in 2019?

"The feasibility of broadcasting the TT races live has always been severely limited by the nature of the 37-mile TT circuit. The challenge of transmitting live images from multiple remote locations and a helicopter has so far been seen as the main commercial, as well as technical, hurdle."
Never a truer word said but I hope they pull it off. 2 Helicopters maybe and live camera feed where the radio commentators are? Some fixed cameras with automatic rider tracking? It'll be interesting.
 
Agreed. But two helicopters is hardly going to cover the entire course, they will need at least 8. As they are expensive to hire/fly, perhaps the ban on Drones could be lifted for licenced operators by the ACU/ Manx government for the whole duration of the TT.
