The day I have to pay for the TV broadcast is the day I stop watching. I realize that pay TV in many countries that has long been the case, but my interest, especially with the new cars, has steadily been declining.

This is great as long as it does not end up being the only access to F1 in the future. There should be health competition of broadcasters offering F1. A monopoly or unfair reduction of access to existing broadcasters would definitely kill the sport.

Unfortunately, in the US the over the air broadcasts have only see ratings of about 150K watching. Plus the fact that most races are shown at 8 AM Sunday in many parts of the country. Thats normal as all televised motorsports here has been in decline for some time. Even the NASCAR Juggernaut has fallen off the cliff. (Interesting because amateur motorsports is as strong or stronger than ever.)
