Melita has acquired TV rights to broadcast all races during Monday's regatta live. This is the third time that Melita will broadcast the national regatta after broadcasting the event for the first time last September and in March.
Melita has also announced it will sponsor part of the expenses incurred by the National Festivities Committee to organise the traditional regatta races.
The seven participating clubs in this year's regatta (Cospicua, Vittoriosa, Kalkara, Marsamxett Valletta, Marsa, Senglea and Birżebbuġa) will compete in 10 races, five reserves and five open categories.
The regatta is organised twice a year in the Grand Harbour by the National Festivities Committee.
Live transmissions using a 10-camera set-up, will start at 1 p.m. both on Melita Sports and also on Melita's weather and information channel, which is available free of charge to all Melita subscribers.
Transmission will also include the prize-giving ceremony. Sports journalist Sandro Micallef will provide live commentary and analysis during all races together with exclusive interviews with rowers, judges and club representatives.
Over the next few days, Melita Sports will also broadcast live the international football matches of Malta's world cup qualifying round.
A live broadcast from Ta' Qali National Stadium is scheduled for Saturday at 7.50 p.m. when Malta will play against Portugal, with a preview programme conducted by Mr Micallef and technical commentary by Steve D'Amato. A repeat of the match will go on-air at 10.30 p.m. on the same day.
On Wednesday, Malta's national football team will be in action in Tirana against Albania. A live broadcast of Albania vs Malta is scheduled on Melita Sports at 8.45 p.m. with live commentary from Tirana.
