Both Qualifying and Race on ESPN2. Note, the article above says "Eastern Time" (doesn't say standard or daylight). Using the online guide for my Sat provider (DirecTV) those look to be "Daylight" times. So it should be...

Qualifying coverage starts at 2AM EDT which should be 6AM UTC
Race coverage starts at 1AM EDT which should be 5AM UTC

Note! The article above does not mention any pre-race coverage, but I am seeing a 30 minute "On the Grid" show from 12:30 AM to 1 AM EDT on ESPN2.

This would tie in with the Sky coverage that ESPN is taking.
Qually programme starts at 5am UK/UTC, 1 hour before the pitlane green light at 6am UK/UTC.

Sky's prerace coverage is split into 2 sections one that begins at 3:30AM UTC (4:30 in the UK as clocks change overnight). The called second Called "on the grid" begins at 4:30 UTC(5:30 UK 12:30 US East Coast) for the new race start time of 5:10 UTC (6:10 UK and 1:10 East coast)

http://www.formula1.com has the season calendar running horizontally on it's front page. Click any flag, and it gives all the session times local time and there is a convert to your timezone option all well.
