It means that, from May, all meetings held at the circuit will be broadcast on the subscription TV channel.
They had, until now, been shown on At The Races, run by Sky Sports Racing.
The racecourse has also become an RGM shareholder until the end of 2028.

David Hunter, clerk of the course, said: "We are excited to be in partnership with many other like-minded, independent racecourses, alongside the larger independents.
"We have an excellent relationship with At The Races and Sky Sports Racing which goes back many years. However, my directors feel now is the right time to make a change.
