Meh. Bernie still in charge.

Could be an interesting scenario in terms of TV rights. Liberty Global owns Virgin Media, so are they going to carry on selling the rights to Sky, then have to pay Sky to get their channels on the VM platform?

[g8ina]

Ahhhhh, didnt know that Might be useful for us VM customers !

[Smudger]

Could be! Or maybe they'll keep the rights and have a VM F1 channel, broadcast in glorious 4k when the new Tivo comes out...

... and included in XL package

I dont think it will be too much of a problem for Sky in the short term.

"A frenetic period for the ownership and management of F1 will also involve Chase Carey, a former DirecTV and News Corporation executive.

Mr Carey, who continues to serve on the board of Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox and is also a director of Sky plc, the owner of Sky News, has been made chairman."

Let's hope they don't start messing with it. I love F1 but the cost to watch is too much. Having to have sky Tv with the sports package just so I can watch 1 channel every couple of weeks is poor show.

Give me a service like Netflix for f1 and they can take my money.

You mean like Now TV? No need for sky TV or sports packages.
