Because they claim that the visitor spend of the 30k fans who come to watch it provides a healthy shot in the arm for the local economy and enables some small businesses to operate year round providing employment etc etc.

And yet similar islands to ours with very similar economies can manage perfectly well without having one.

From MR News:

A body has been caught in a fishing boat's net near the Isle of Man.

A trawler, Elegance, was fishing for prawns in the Irish Sea when the decomposed corpse was retrieved from the ocean.

Maybe a “new” MHK who has not been heard for 3 years ?

Go out for prawns and come back with a stiff.

I think that’s the title of an artistic film I once saw late at night.

Absurd.

Not really, if the Government is paying Manx Radio to provide the commentary, it seems reasonable that the advertising from that commentary is goes back to the government. Also why should Manx Radio effectively advertise itself for free during the races. 

(Although it does stem from the absurd position that that the government are subsidising the races and paying it's broadcasting wing for coverage, whilst telling us it is massive for the economy.)
