Martin Haven would be ideal to do the BTCC, though I believe he is still contracted to Eurosport and therefore the WTCC.

Oh hurray (!)
Think Ben might find the change difficult. Because you know, normally in BTCC races there's always something going on that suits his excitable style, yet in F1 more times than not there's nothing exciting happening at all. On a more serious note, good luck to him in his new role. Just generally disappointed he won't be commentating on BTCC or GTs anymore. That sucks big time. |

It's good to see Edwards get this promotion. It's good to see Kravitz get an expanded media program over at Sky. He had hit a cul de sac at the BBC at least in F1 broadcasting terms.

Since he confirmed it himself on Twitter earlier today the number of his followers has increased from around 5,500 to over 9,000 and the congratulations have been pouring in from what looks like a who's who of motor racing folk. As Ben himself said, thanks to ITV for releasing him from his existing commitment to them. |

Sorry just to clarify, nobody would have forced me to do anything and yes I would have done it willingly which is what I have said previously. I thought you were agreeing with me and yes lets draw a line under it.

Well can I say the last thing before we agree to draw a line under it?!
This is a joke, but demonstrates a point. So, sky and F1... |

Well, thank heavens for SKY-GO. Now all that you BBC F1 refugees have to do is just be nice to someone who has Sky (2 refugees to one Sky customer is permitted, so someone might want to PM henners88). And don't worry, Mr Murdoch says it's all OK, but read the small print first because we all know that he's only after your soul/first born.

That would be alright, I've got sky+.
Eurosport repeated the 1996 marathon on Christmas day too! |

Glad Ben Edwards is moving to the BBC to cover the F1. The perfect replacement.
Don't have Sky in the house and I won't get it just for F1 - too expensive for what it is. No surprise Brundle left though. |

The BBC have been explaining themselves to the MP's over the sky deal.
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/96815 It confirms most of what we already know and the BBC did not talk to any other FTA channel regarding taking over coverage. |

Mark Thompson just confirms what we already suspected.
He doesn't give a damn about the fans, the sponsors, or anybody at all apart from saving his own neck. Not talking to any other FTA broadcaster was a cynical, cowardly decision that has cast F1 into the wilderness of Sky's tiny viewing figures. He should be sacked. |

I don't really blame the BBC. I blame Eccelstone for not slashing the price.

Remember that the BBC is a publicly funded body and has had to renew it's charter recently. Other organisations are willing to pay the fees demanded by the "professional" bodies running sports. The BBC has to provide a diverse range of programming and content from the World Service to Cbeebies. looking at the big picture; Formula 1 is not important. Whilst I am saddened that F1 will not be totally Free To Air it is not the end of the world. And demanding the sacking of a civil servant who is trying to please everyone doesn't help matters. |
