Dont know if this has been mentioned yet but just reading the new f1 tv deal with free to air/freeview for next year. Says that sky have only permitted c4 1 race to be broadcast live which is the british grand prix. Also says whilst c4 have the rights to broadcast extended highlights of the rest of the races, they are only allowed to show 50% of the actual race which is down from around 60-70% last season. The last part of the deal which i found interesting was that c4 are now not allowed to interview drivers in ‘race areas’ whatever this means. I think its a shame that the sport is sadly being wound down on a free to air platform. Since i was a kid ive always watched f1 but looks like sky are starting to cut off the availability for free to air viewers. Maybe not that surprising as the viewing figures suggested that c4 actually had 65% of total viewing figures of f1 in the uk last year.
It stinks!
I'm not a fan of Sky F1, can't get away with the that Simon fella and Martin Brundle is a soggy fart.
Mark Webber and David Coulthard are good crack.
