F1 inks Sky TV deal in Italy

Its on f1-live

Bernie Ecclestone has concluded a three year agreement with the pay-channel Sky Sports for Formula One coverage in Italy.

The sport will still be broadcasted in the country by the state owned network Rai, but more comprehensive coverage is to be immediately available on Rupert Murdoch's Sky, the sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.


I so hope this happens in the UK, I have sky sports and if ITV show F1 people that dont have sky sports wont have to pay. I know which one i will watch and thats the one with no ads.

I somewhat doubt Sky would be able to resist the temptation of a few ad breaks in the UK

They tried pay per view before in the UK with F1 in 2002 but they cancelled it.

All the good sport is on Sky, they're taking over the world. Keep F1 on ITV, I feel sorry for the Italians.

Bernie cancelled it not sky, he stopped the f1 digital channel which was pay for view anyway sky just hosted it.

Read what I posted please.

People will have a choice it will still be shown on normal tele like it was with f1 digital.

And the f1 digital was fantastic btw I hated having to go back to ITV. Peter Windsor in the pit lane was the best.

good new we will have finally a good telecast...........
