I have had a request from a racer to help identify where TAR is shown around the world. What channels and networks?

Is there such a list?

If not, I know that thanks to our large number of International posters, we should be able to come up with a list!

Thanks everybody!!

These are the ones I know:

Canada--CTV

Australia--Channel 7

AXN: Singapore, Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau,, Malaysia, Palau, Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines, PG

New Zealand--Channel 2

I believe some seasons have been aired in the UK on one of the satellite channels (Living TV I think) but not sure if that is current

I also found a Amazing Race TV schedule listing for SABS3 (South Africa) and NTV7 which I think is Malaysia

I have been looking without success so far, but I thought that some of the seasons had aired in Finland, but my friend has not replied to my email. I am 99.9% sure that Germany does not broadcast Amazing Race, and my gut feeling is that the smaller countries such as Netherlands, Italy, Finland who often broadcast English speaking shows with subtitles are more likely to show AR compared to the bigger countries who usually dub new sound tracks in their own language for all the shows - such as Germany, France etc. I haven't been able to come up with any links yet though.
I asked my friend in India, and he confirmed that he watches AR on AXN.

Google translation of this page here suggests that Slovenia might be airing a season of TAR atm - maybe with dubbed over voices instead of subtitles?

Slovak television, the The Amazing Race

Under the title Stunning dobrodružstvo prepared by the Slovak television broadcasting in one of the most successful American reality show, The Amazing Race. For viewers who are in their programming menu, AXN, although there is no novelty (where it can monitor the first 10 rows), but while the AXN this show is running with subtitles, the Slovak unit will make it completely nadabovanou. There is prepared to 26 parts, will be broadcast every weekday afternoon. The first part has already started on Wednesday, June 25 at 14:25.

That's a fun find! I'm a little surprised that they will be allowed to dub our guys though!

More from South Africa here: they are several seasons behind though... http://entertainment.iafrica.com/television/reality/amazingrace/930465.htm

In Finland Amazing Race is aired by MTV3; see the page of the show here. TAR FE finished April, and TAR9 is scheduled to start September. I believe TAR4 was the first season aired, but cannot guarantee I'm 100% correct about this.

In the UK, Challenge TV is just about to broadcast TAR season 9. Trailers say coming soon...

For Mexico it is CBS via satellite for the current season and AXN via cable for Spanish-subtitled re-runs. TAR 12 has not yet "cabled" (aired) in Mexico.

The Philippines has Studio 23 air TAR 13 on Mondays at 8 am and Tuesdays at 8:30 pm.

TAR 4 is shown on AXN Europe in Germany: http://www.axntv.de/ However, that's a cable only pay-tv channel, and due to the fact that Germany has history of a publically funded television (like UK with the BBC), basically nobody watches pay-TV unless they offer sports (football to be exact). And the only broadcaster to do that is Premiere. TAR has never been broadcasted on free-tv afaik. RTL, a big private broadcaster, aired a local version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peking_Express, but that was it. No other travel-reality shows.

hey peach, our local station here called Channel 5 shows it direct from satellite on Monday 8am and on 11pm the repeat on the same day. Seems like they are doing the satellite thing for some south-east asian countries.
Sometimes they do cast interviews with the ones who get booted so maybe you can ask them if they ever got interviewed by this station. Kynt and Vyxsin were one of them and they were very nice to do a voice interview.

Is that Singapore, Alan?

Yeah, it's only the even numbered seasons Seven likes to air out of order (still trying to figure out why they chose TAR:FE and all its America-ness over TAR10. And I am not at all still residually bitter over them removing the hurricane info from the NOLA episode, combining it with the Panama episode the week after, and STILL choosing to advertise Talladega.)

I don't know whether they have US TAR as well, but Brazil's version aired on Rede!TV.

Looks like Finland is just starting Season 10....

Latin America.- S12 finished airing last Sunday on AXN, I don't know if next week season 13 premieres or if there's going to be reruns

DrRox · « **Reply #23 on:** January 21, 2009, 04:17:45 AM »

In Rio de Janeiro, it is on AXN. One hour everyday. Last spring(08) they only had TAR8-TAR11. They kept repeating them. Took about 2 1/2 weeks to show a race it seemed.

Jobby · « **Reply #24 on:** January 21, 2009, 04:40:47 AM »

Yup, The Amazing Race airs on AXN at 9pm (for those with CableTV) and on Mediacorp Channel 5 at 8am (direct off satellite) and a repeat on the same day at night at 11pm in Singapore.

They have been doing this for at least since season 8 (i think) and our local newspapers (Straits Times) and magazines (8 days) always have exclusive interviews with them when a team gets eliminated from the race.
