Sky get rights to F1

[boff180]

My worry is how much power Sky now have over F1.

The Premier League is there biggest cash cow, will they start forcing F1 to change race times and days as not to clash with big matches?

Can Sky change the race times / days? Is their power over F1 not confined to broadcast rights?

A more logical approach will be to show it on another channel.

Sky Sports 1/2/3/4.

Is it to much to hope for a dedicated Sky Sports F1 Channel ? (ie Sky Sports F1) with programmes on all week relating to F1 or even a Sky Sports dedicated motorsport channel?

Well if football and WWE Wrestling are your things Derek then it's probably good value, but if you only want F1 then no it's not.

Like me then can't beat football or WWE Wrestling

Here's a thought. Why not put X-factor, I'm a celebrity, get me out of here, Jeremy Kyle and all such dross on pay-per-view, then we would see just how popular they really are. I wonder if those who watch such programmes would then continue to do so..
