Was there a change in the way Formula One is broadcast here in the US? The last race in San Marino wasn't broadcast on the day of the race. It was broadcast the week after (last Friday) after we knew who won. This upcoming race in Spain isn't going to be broadcast this Sunday either. The only thing they're going to show is qualifying. Anyone know what's going on? Why has The Speed Channel begun delaying the broadcast until a week later? It's stupid. It's like watching the Super Bowl the week after it happened. It just can't and shouldn't be done.

Spain, Nurburgring, and Canada will all air on CBS too. Maybe it's just me (and my brother), but Derek Daly was really annoying. Alan

CBS has been poaching some of the races. It will be the same for champcar, except I doubt we'll see a 2nd broadcast of CC. They are only delaying the cast cuz they don't have first rights to it. Use tvguide.com and search for auto racing to verify the channel on any paticular weekend. And also check the daily schedules on speedchanel's website. dh
Four Formula One races are on CBS this year, shown on the day of the race but tape delayed (San Marino started at 10 a.m. here on the West Coast). The announcers at San Marino mentioned which the other three were going to be, but I can't recall offhand. Speed Channel then shows the race on the following Friday. I prefer the Speed Channel announcers, but the CBS crew was quite OK, too, I thought. The rest of the F1 races will be live on Speed, as before. nathantw wrote: > Was there a change in the way Formula One is broadcast here in theUS?
