UK television broadcast coverage of the Formula One world championships will move to the BBC in 2009 after a five year deal was announced in March 2008, replacing ITV's existing coverage. History The BBC covered Formula One for many decades until 1996, initially covering the odd race on the calendar, before introducing in 1976 a programme which followed the entire championship. Formula One was shown under the 'Grand Prix' banner, races were commentated on by Murray Walker, with many co-commentators including James Hunt and Jonathan Palmer. Coverage was expanded in 1996, when all qualifying and races were shown live - many with Steve Rider fronting the coverage. Although coverage moved to ITV in 1997, the BBC continues to broadcast every race live on its BBC Radio 5 Live radio service. |
