F1 heading to Sky?

http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/0...73I5TS20110419

Just seen on Sky News that News corp are interested in buying F1.

Would this see F1 moved to Sky Sports with the dreaded mid race adverts reappearing? :s

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Dear God Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooo!


I think that gives you my view.

Trouble is in the UK the only channel you can watch F1 is BBC, if it comes to the Beeb losing interest or being out bid, there is no where else F1 to go without ruining the race.

Lets hope BBC decide to fight for F1 for a few years.

Doesn't F1 have to be on a free to view channel? sure its in the contracts Sponsors wouldn't want it moved to pay per view

This would be a great move, a forward thinking company running the show for the spectators.

I still remember when they showed the race in parallel with ITV, offering multi views of the race including in car - way before anyone else.

And when Rupert waved his magic chequebook, all the worries of the sponsors went away and the scary little imp called Bernie was happy with his new sack of gold.

I thought that Bernie was keen to keep it on free to view? I thought he'd run through the idea of making people pay and it didn't really work, afterall F1 has a lot of casual viewers that will move away if it's on the scroat's channels.
