Don't think they are going to be changing their minds about this new deal so we will be stuck with it like it or not no matter how long or hard we the paying public protest (BBC Lincence payers that it, so all of us really) as it is now a done deal and anyway they would rather have the golf or some other lesser sport on the BEEB as it is easy to set up and not going to cost them a lot to produce...just a thought.
However, the Sky switch may be a good thing depending on who they get to front it and what the coverage is like. I have read that there will not be any ad breaks so thats a bonus for a start and they will also cover practice and qualifying.
The BEEB do this already but only on the red button and if they is nothing else of interest such as tiddly winks on from the arse end of the world instead.
Also I have heard that this is only being done due to the BEEB having to cut costs by 20 per cent so why not lose the tennis/golf/swimming/athletics or god forbid football instead and keep the F1 as many of the teams and drivers etc are based in the UK. Just a thought!
