If I recall correctly sky have exclusive live coverage of F1 in the UK next season. sky did the deal with Bernie shortly after C4 took over from the BBC.
I am wondering how Liberty are going to deal with this in relation C4 (or other FTA channel). C4 are doing a very good job with the 50% of the races they cover live. I suspect some sort of deal will need to be done over the summer months if not sooner if Liberty want to try and grow the sport but what can they offer FTA viewers other than delayed highlights (or even delayed full races)?
The British GP has to be available on FTA televison so there will have to be a deal done for it as well.
