Sky F1 for life. The subscription is worth it just for Ted.
Surprise surprise. We need some more cheap quiz/reality shows. So will sky just take the remaining contract?
Gutted really as i liked it on the BBC. I honestly didnt see this coming so soon!
No adverts? I believe it when i see it. Hated F1 on ITV. Was a joke to have ads during the race!
I wont pay for Sky just to watch F1 though. We have Freeview only.
Will be looking for a way to watch now online!
Unless F1 becomes way more interesting next season, I'm not too fused.
Be interested to see what C4 do with it. Thankfully they are committing to no adverts during the race. I still have a sour taste when ITV used to do that.
Edit... Just seen details of now adverts.
The Beebs heart hasn't been in F1 for a long time. When it first started with Jake, Brundle and Ted it was a class apart from what we'd had with ITV. Then they flogged most of the rights to Sky and Jake, Brundle and Ted left and since then it's been just limping to todays announcement.
If you want someone to blame, blame the Government. The freeze on the License Fee is ultimately the root cause of this.
Blame? If other terrestrial broadcasters want to show it why is a supposedly public service, publicly funded, broadcaster bidding for it in the first place?
After being a big F1 fan in the 90/00s I have found myself missing quite a few races and just looking at the results.
I wonder if in 5 years this will be seen as the beginning of the end.
