F1 to leave terrestrial Tv

[henners88]

There have been statements about Sky running the highlights on a new FTA channel of their own. But sub-letting their highlights to someone else would make sense.

I had heard that yes. If sky have their own channel to air highlights I can't imagine them being as comprehensive as the BBC or C4. There must be some emphasis on why it's better to subscribe to the whole channel and see the race in full. I would imagine they will use it to advertise the channel and make highlights short and sweet.

They won't want fans getting enough from highlights as it undermines the main event. This is why I think the highlights show will either be aired the day after or perhaps midweek like the F1 Show used to be. I think whatever way you look at it, it's going to be crap.
