Rejected petition Keep F1 @ BBC

More details

Keep F1 @ BBC would like the government to ensure that the great sport of Formula1 is broadcast on free to view terrestrial TV for the whole racing season and not just a few races throughout the season. Why should the public have to purchase a Sky subscription and then have to pay for the relevant Sports package on top to watch a sport that has been broadcast on BBC1, BBC2 and ITV for over 50 years. We already have to pay for a TV Licence and we don't want to have to continue to pay to watch F1.
