F1 on TV - 2019

[mollytherocker]

Hi

I know there are a few discussions about this going around, but just want to understand what is actually happening in 2019?

Its on SKY of course, but is anybody else showing it, like C4 are this year? My Sky 'legacy' deal is up soon and I am seriously thinking about quitting them.

No races will be shown live on terrestrial TV from next year. There has been statements of highlights being shown after the race, but as of yet we don't know what this will entail, who the team will be, or which channel it will be on. At the moment, it's looking most likely that highlights will be on one of the free-to-air Sky owned channels on freeview, rather than something akin to what we have already with Channel 4, which would be a shame. Plenty of people are hoping that Sky may still outsource to a separate company, perhaps to the current channel 4 team, but as of yet there has been no detail on this.

I guess we won't hear any solid details until after this season.

Many thanks for that. I guess I shall hold fire until we know more!

Haven't watched since BBC dumped it.

It would therefore seem strange that you are looking on the F1 section of PH!

I wasn't aware the Legacy HD Pack that gives free access to Sky F1 was ending. Did you have a personal arrangement with Sky that is ending or is this affecting all Legacy HD subscribers?

I need to clarify. I have the HD F1 legacy deal but renegotiated the monthly cost of the package for 18 months. This 'deal' is up in August.

I can negotiate again, but they know I have the legacy deal and know that if I leave, I lose it forever. I managed to reduce the deal by 30% last time.
