"Pricing for F1 TV Pro will be offered on a monthly basis of USD$8-$12, and annual rates will be priced according to market."

The phrasing makes me thing otherwise, but I will be happy if im wrong.

With the way they phrased it, it definitely sounds like the live streaming plan includes everything else, but seeing as this is F1, I wouldn't rule out them making you pay for both separately.

I already explained it, the phrasing leads me to beleive they will adjust it based on what they think they will earn. What will probably happen is the LIVE only streaming will be 10 bux then the archive services will be priced a bit more. Probably more the 24 bucks combined.

Pretty sure they've hired people to host the streaming feed, so I doubt they're using Sky's team.

F1 TV Access is a cheaper tier that doesn't include live streaming, only live timing, commentary, highlights, and archive video.

What it doesn't say is if F1 TV Pro includes everything in F1 TV Access. I'm assuming it would, because the release makes it sound like F1 TV Access is meant to be aimed at territories where they don't yet control streaming rights. Worst case scenario, you have to buy both, and it's at most $23/month.

I will have a dick that can bust concrete if live races are only $12/month.

You're misreading it. It will be $8-12 per month, it explicitly says that. What you are referring to is the "annual rates will be priced according to market" bit, annual being the key word. You can typically subscribe to services like this on a monthly or annual basis, and the annual fee generally gives you a per-month discount (when MLS Live existed it was $15/month and $80/season). It's an incentive to give them all your money at once, so they don't have to worry about you cancelling later. It's the annual fee that will vary from market to market. And it literally says the package that includes archive streaming will be priced less than the live streaming package, thus <$12.

You guys aren't thinking like vampiric American capitalists enough. Liberty is a public company, and their shareholders only want revenue growth. Obviously this service is going to be shockingly cheap at first, because that means all of us will subscribe to it, love it, and then say "hell yeah I'll pay another $1/month" every single year for the rest of our sad lives.

Doesn't explain Australia.
Foxtel has abysmal rates of uptake and most races aren't gonna be on Free-to-Air iirc, while F1 has a pretty strong following here. They could prolly print money if they came here with a $15/month offering. Hell, I'd buy it (if I could suspend it/it didn't cost anything when there weren't any races on).

Otherwise I'm just gonna :filez: it.

EDIT: Just realised what does - Fox just bought the rights, so I guess they're content to lock it up, I guess FOM didn't learn from the A-League's struggles to get an active viewer base here. Also the Australian Grand Prix has to be on Free-to-Air here due to Anti-Siphoning laws.

If it's not available in Canada day 1, i'll pirate the gently caress out of it forever.

TSN shows the broadcasts so little respect, if F1 has to bend to their will they can both get hosed in the biggest way.

Gonna pirate that poo poo until the streaming option arrives, £26 for two Sky Sports week-passes on NowTV (assuming two races each month) is a bit much.

I almost subscribed to a German pay-TV satellite service a few years back to get F1 without paying Sky, but :effort:. Seems a bit outdated to have to use a satellite dish when I have an Internet connection.

I may be thinking of something else, but didn't the previous broadcaster go bankrupt and terminate their contact midseason? I imagine FOM would've been pretty desperate to find someone to finish the season, and Foxtel just demanded a longer contract.

I’m holding out hope that DAZN in Japan gets the rights again, because it’s an all-in-one sports network for about that much a month. They had the world feed with placid Japanese announcers last year, it was a good way to watch.

Sort of...
they were run into the ground so Murdoch could buy them cheaply and turn them into Fox but on free-to-air.
Then CBS stepped in and stopped all that mularky by simply outbidding what Murdoch wanted to bid. Twice.

They still have the rights to the Australian GP for a few years because, through Australian law, Fox can't show it if it isn't on a free-to-air channel, and I think it's that "you still have to find someone to show the Australian Grand Prix" that FOM is balking at.
