formula 1 moves to sky next year

It\'s a cop out by the BBC really though isn\'t it. I have Skysports at home but would much rather watch the coverage on the BBC. They really need to sort out their budgets so they can actually bid for program rights insted of getting walked over by sky all the time.

this is the best place to get upto date details on what is happening http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/ . there seems to be some bargening going on at the mo with fota through whitmarsh being told and expecting the whole race being shown a couple of hours later but the bbc has confirmed that it will only show a highlights program of 75mins between 5 and 6 on a sun eve

I enjoy watching a lot of sport, football, golf etc so without getting into the political agenda of Sky, its a natural "choice" for me.

I will say i have enjoyed the coverage this year on terrestrial tv but in general i find Skys coverage of any of the sporting events is 2nd to none and after just having upgraded to Hd its simply stunning.

I guess F1 was watched by many people, not just sports fans, so can understand the frustration if thats all you enjoy. Seems the way of the world these days.

The biggest irritant to sky and viewing for me however is the box office events, mainly boxing, its disgusting after subscribing you still have to pay for these features.
