Factory Jackson on BIKE TV Channel – Sky channel 464 | Virgin channel 552
BIKE channel is a brand new TV channel dedicated to cycling!
Originally started in Italy, the channel launched in the UK at the end of last year using a lot of existing content to get running – but are now populating the channel with exciting new content including the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup and plenty of unique shows that will include product testing, riding locations and much more.
And Factory Jackson are on hand to help them out with some testing and presenting!
Factory Jackson on BIKE – here we are getting a Mondraker Dune RR prepped for some filming with the Greenlight TV crew, who produce for Bike Channel.
Tonight is the first appearance for Factory Jackson on BIKE, and the start of some cool involvement from us that goes hand in hand with the way we do things here.
Our section is airing at about 9.30PM, and will be re-run on 1st April at 9.30am.

We spent a day with TV production company Greenlight TV at the Forest of Dean, looking in to options for future programmes – and whilst there shot a bike test feature on the awesome Mondraker Dune RR, which we featured recently here.
It was cool to work with a film crew who are an actual TV crew – and I found it tricky not to get carried away with all the technical detailing of the bike. It’s a different game, presenting for the masses – as opposed to the in depth content we usually write. But it all works well together!
Factory Jackson on BIKE – Getting to hammer a bike around the Forest of Dean is always fun, but talking and riding at the same time introduced some new challenges I’m not familiar with. Should be interesting moving forwards – lets see where it goes!
Since filming this initial show, we’ve heard of loads of exciting plans for the content they will be producing in future – though we’re sworn to secrecy at the moment!
Let’s just say this isn’t the only time you’ll see Factory Jackson on BIKE! Exciting times ahead!
Bike channel is currently available via Sky on channel 464, and Virgin on channel 552.
Let us know if you manage to tune in!
And let us know about the sort of Factory Jackson content you might like to see on the TV!
