Television roles

The NZ Racing Board is unlike any organisation you will find in New Zealand. We are the governing body of racing and sports wagering, operating more than 650 TAB retail outlets and three call centres, as well as our own national television and radio channels.

The proposed launch of a second channel now provides some new opportunities within Trackside.

The Trackside Channel broadcasts live local and international racing seven days a week on free-to-air channels and the Sky network. Within Trackside we currently have vacancies for five positions as we prepare for the launch of our second channel.

The roles also support the Production and Editing teams.
