F1 Fanatic

I think it will be… I have Speed on cable and normally I watch the races on Fox Latin America…

The Speed broadcast is bad, and even when the Fox comentary team is not bad I hate having to watch that much ads…

Hopefully Bernie took a deal with one of the 3 big networks: CBS, NBC o ABC…this will help to grow the popularity of F1 in US… NBC is trying hard to regain audience and even when they were widely criticized they did good with the Olympics this year breaking record in audience….

Dear BBC, Get Buxton. Before Sky does.

@obi-spa-kenobi Don’t get me started on their Tour coverage… The idiot commentators didn’t even know the names of some of the more important riders. How hard is it to say “Edvald” ?

@Obi-Spa Kenobi +1 I hope they retain the current broadcast crew for the most part, I’m anxious to see who the network is, but most importantly I hope they don’t muck it up. Watching the United States Grand Prix on SPEED instead of FOX this year will be opportunity wasted.

Although I live in Canada, I watch the BBC’s coverage on TSN, so it doesn’t affect me much. But I record and watch Speed’s coverage of practice, and I’ve grown to like the commentators. If NBC takes over, hopefully they can broadcast more practice sessions. Personally I find their IndyCar commentators annoying; this year they were explaining defending your position.

But in closing, it’s a move for the best because NBC is a bigger broadcast company that everyone has, and so it should increase exposure to F1 in the US, since there will be two races there

I noticed this morning that the broadcast schedule for Melbourne is starting to show up on NBCSN’s website. It looks like FP1 will be recorded and shown in its entirety before the live broadcast of FP2. No sign of FP3, but qualifying is live and repeated in the early afternoon.

I rarely watch NBCSN in the ‘off-season’, other than the occasional hockey game, but when I’ve had it on I haven’t seen any kind of advertising for F1. Has anybody else noticed anything?
