FanDuel TV is an American sports-oriented digital cable and satellite television network owned by FanDuel Group, the U.S. subsidiary of Irish bookmaker Flutter Entertainment. Formerly known as TVG and specializing in coverage of live horse racing, the network was rebranded as FanDuel TV in September 2022. Post-rebrand, the intent is to focus on mainstream sports and sports betting while retaining the TVG name for online horse wagering. History TVG (1999–2022) FanDuel TV was launched on July 14, 1999 as TVG (short for Television Games Network), and was founded as a joint-venture of TV Guide Inc. (which at the time was owned by both Liberty Media and News Corp.), National Thoroughbred Racing Association, and AT&T Broadband. In May 2006, TVG introduced several new programs to its schedule including Morning Line, Fandicapping, :58 Flat, Lady Luck (an all-female panel discussion program focusing on the day's races) and Drive Time (which covered exclusive racing from the Meadowlands). TVG places microphones on select jockeys, owners, trainers, and the starting crew. The channel formerly operated a fictional betting site, TVGfree.net, which allowed it to have a presence in the fifteen states which prohibit televised and off track betting, operating similarly to poker sites which use the .net domain to differentiate their fictional betting sites from the .com sites which allow gambling. The site was discontinued at the start of 2012 due to a site upgrade, and currently redirects to TVG.com. In the end of February 2007, TVG ended its longtime affiliation with Churchill Downs Incorporated. On May 2, 2008, Gemstar-TV Guide was acquired by Macrovision (now TiVo Corporation) for $2.8 billion. Macrovision, which purchased Gemstar-TV Guide to boost the value of VCR Plus+ and electronic program guide patents, later stated that it was considering a sale of TVG, TV Guide Network, and the TV Guide print edition's namesake to other parties. In the end of 2008, Macrovision sold TVG to British bookmaker Betfair for $50 million. The deal was completed on January 27, 2009, separating the channel from the company which acquired its founding owner in 2007. In February 2015, Betfair acquired TVG's sole competitor, HRTV, and began to consolidate it into TVG's facilities. The network was re branded as a sister network, TVG2, in October 2015. In July 2018, the network announced that it was developing studio programs dedicated to sports betting. The U.S. Supreme Court had recently struck down the Professional and Amateur
