Callister explains why only a one-year deal is on offer
Talks between Manx Radio and TT organisers, over a contract to provide commentary for this year's TT and Festival of Motorcycling, are set to continue later this week.
The Department for Enterprise announced an agreement in principle had been reached between the parties on Monday evening, ahead of a question on the matter in the House of Keys the following day.
Political member in the department with responsibility for the TT and motorsport, Rob Callister, says a one-year deal is the only available offer - due to political circumstances:
DEFA decision not to respond to FOI deemed 'inappropriate'
Isle of Man Ferry Terminal in Liverpool upgrade delayed again
Mountain Road to remain closed
Extending MiCards could cost £60,000, says treasury minister
Risk of frost and ice to remain until Friday
