a rather long article about Carey/Liberty's approach for the future of F1's TV and digital media coverage.

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/t...d-prix-913505/

not much new info here other then a reaffirmation that they are looking at all platforms (FTA, PayTV, digital, multi devices) which is great but still light on the details.

one thing that caught me was a mention of a hypothetical price point for a premium subscription package.

"We haven't priced it yet, but let's say, for example, 10 bucks a month to access that package.

over the years this is an approach i have favoured (even advocated for) but in today's current environment of content/streaming options, $10/mos can buy you far more content a month to consume then F1 could possibly provide (think a monthly netflix subscription for example).

in all likely hood i would pay for a premium subscription, but i wonder if they have waited too long to implement this and if their price point hypothetical is too high for it to be successful enough to maintain and/or produce the necessary new content required to make it worth while in the first place.

i look forward to the inevitable comments about how some will never pay for F1!
