A few years ago, one of the UK sports channels got the rights to show all the F1 races live, but we still had half of the races live on a free-to-air channel with highlights of the others. From next year, there will be no live races on free-to-air TV, but it looks like the current provider will still get to show the highlights of each race. The deal was done by the previous F1 boss, Bernie Ecclestone, but new owners, Liberty Media, don't seem to be able to change it. In the meantime, TV audiences continue to fall. It's almost like there's some sort of connection!
