I've just read that Sky are going to be showing the races ad-free!
Is it official coverage of BBC?
No, it would have been Ch4's coverage, but now we've got Sky's
Seems like Sky/Bernie more likely to be the fall guys out of this whole affairQuote:

Ch4 and Sky offer the same money, and considering everyone can get ch4 and it's free, ?????!
Doesn't make sense
Apparently yes Channel 4 offered the same as Sky but BBC put extra money into the pot which made the Sky+BBC bid higher than the Ch4 one.
According to James Allen the BBC own free-to-air rights so Ch4 would have compromised their position and instead wanting to deal with Sky. Which means Auntie isn't so innocent out of this whole affair as has been implied.Quote:
