And of course Wimbledon was on too, but then that has clashed with the British GP in the past too

I thought it was rather telling that on last Friday's early evening news on BBC1 we were told that it was a big weekend for sport.There was the women's World Cup,the Cricket World Cup and Wimbledon.Not a word about a grand prix seventy miles north of BBC HQ.

As I didn't watch any sport on TV over the last weekend, I don't know which channels showed which sport. However, is it possible that the BBC were actually promoting those activities that the BBC were showing on TV, whilst I believe that the F1 was transmitted by Channel 4? If so, the BBC was just advertising what a big weekend for sport there was to be found on their own channels. |

CCW and the GP were both on C4. The Women's World Cup and Wimbledon were BBC.

BBC dont tend to say much about motorsport in general, they have had Formula E all season but you wouldnt know its hidden away on the website that can only be found by people who already know where it is

They tried with WTCR, but that only lasted one meeting

Just seen this analysis of F1 TV viewing figures in 2019. Expect it will elsewhere also......
'F1 TV audience crashes by 8.6m viewers following switch to exclusive Sky Sports coverage.' https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/form...cid=spartandhp |

Of course it will also affect team sponsorship as well, as with reduced viewers comes reduced reach and that will make it less attractive to sponsors.

Well anyone could have seen that coming. It’s just the powers that be didn’t seem to think that it would happen like this. Shows it was a bad idea to give the Sky the exclusive rights from the start

I don't think the powers that be were stupid enough to think this would not happen, they just did not care in any way.
It's all about money, and for a sport that is already rich enough to be embarrassing, that says it all and a major reason why I take nothing more than a passing interest in the supposed leading motorsport series in the world. |

I should think quite a lot, not that he needed anymore money and now we're seeing how detrimental the cost to F1 has been. At the time, a number of people predicted this would happen.

The organisers? The fans? The tv viewers? The teams? The sport as a whole? Judging the benefit of an idea based on viewing figures alone does not give the whole picture. I'm sure there are at least a few people who felt, and still feel, that it was a good idea. (I'm not saying I am one of them though ). |
