- Satellite_Information_Services abstract "Satellite Information Services (or SIS for short) is a company which provides news gathering services, outside broadcast resources and broadcasts events such as horse racing and greyhound racing, as well as lottery games such as Rapido and 49's, to betting shops in the United Kingdom and Ireland and other worldwide destinations.It was formed in 1986 when bookmakers took the opportunity to broadcast live racing in their shops for the first time - previously only live audio commentary was broadcast to licensed betting offices (LBOs) and a 'whiteboard' man transcribed the shows and results in the LBOs. The service was launched initially in Bristol on May 5, 1987 and subsequently rolled out to approximately 10,400 bookmakers in the UK and Ireland.SIS is owned by Ladbrokes 23%, Caledonia Investments 22.5%, Alternateport Limited 20.5%, William Hill Organisation 19.5%, Fred Done 7.5% and Tote 6%.
