Like any other sport, motocross has a specialized fan base and MX radio is often found by chance. Where you live affects live coverage, information and race updates on the radio. Dead air and overpowering signal destroys reception.
Competition is more intense in large areas of habitation, less refined in smaller areas and virtually nonexistent in remote areas.
Manx Radio started broadcasting in 1964, covering the Tourist Trophy (TT) motorcycle races on the Isle of Man. Today it has advanced to an internet-based radio station, providing those in the UK and around the world the opportunity to tune in for today's news or review past events.
FOX Sports Radio, ESPN and ESPN2 are additional ways to find MX radio events. Blogs and track websites usually list the channel or station covering the event. Listen to "On The Grid" Sunday morning, which covers motorsports events on FOX affiliates, American Forces Network and XM Radio Channel 169. "Speed Sport on FOX Sports Radio" yields intensive motorsports coverage.
Sirius and XM are among the most popular paid programming stations. Truckers and long-distance commuters enjoy the benefit of satellite radio that allows them to select what they want to hear. Both carry ESPN, allowing MX subscribers the chance to listen to race coverage when aired. XM carries Sporting News Radio and Fox Sports Radio.
Internet radio and live streaming constantly improve. Some MX radio sites require a subscription, so be wary of where you travel. You can get "On The Grid" streamed live on iHeartRadio.com and FoxSports.com.
Another spot for live stream is allisports.com. Access the action at home with your computer or on the go with WiFi and your laptop, Kindle, Netbook or Smartphone.

Simplicity itself from the black box.
Tuning into an mx radio show is simple, you can be driving in your car or chilling out at home. TV and the internet has taken over somewhat from the simple pleasure of motocross radio.
The main problem is you don’t get to SEE the action, the overtaking and the spills all have to be explained. But when it comes to interviews a well-constructed radio show can be a joy to listen to.
Although there are dedicated shows and channels, be aware of your local station. When a freestyle (FMX) show is on in your town, you can be sure they’ll be wanting to interview the stars – so keep your ears to the ground for some tidbits of information.
