Commenting on the deal, John Postlethwaite, Chief Executive, BSI, rights holders of both the SGP Series and SWC, said: "dk4 took a chance with our broadcast a number of years ago when the performance of Danish riders was at a low ebb. The emergence of 2003 Danish World Champion Nicki Pedersen Nicki Pedersen (born 2 April 1977 in Odense, Denmark) is a Danish motorcycle speedway rider. He was the Speedway World Champion of 2003 and 2007 and a multiple Speedway Grand Prix winner.  and a number of exciting young Danish riders has led to outstanding growth in TV audiences on both DR and dk4 and we are pleased to repay their faith in the sport with this significantly extended agreement."

Jan Rosendal, Head of Sports for DR, said: "The Speedway Grand Prix Series is one of Danish television's sporting success stories. The growth of the world championship over the past three years has been exceptional, coinciding with the move to Denmark's national stadium PARKEN and the development of world class Danish riders. This new contract reinforces our commitment to both Championships and we're looking forward to working with BSI to increase the awareness and quality of the event as a television spectacle."

dk4 Chief Executive, Stig Holboll Hasner commented: "We have thoroughly enjoyed working with BSI in establishing the Grand Prix Series as one of the 'must see' live television events in Denmark. There is no doubt the SGP Series and Speedway World Cup as television events are thriving and we look forward to strengthening our relationship with these events over the next four years."
