Sky agrees to share British F1 Grand Prix rights with Channel 4

Sep 12, 2018 - Staff@seenituk

Sky and Channel 4 have announced an “innovative content partnership” which will see previously exclusive Sky shows including Tin Star as well as highlights and live coverage of the Formula 1 2019 British Grand Prix shown on Channel 4.

The sport was due to become exclusive to Sky Sports following the end of the current season.

In return, Channel 4 will provide Sky and Now TV viewers with shows from its Walter Presents on demand service. The first full box set, available from tomorrow, will be the third series of the award-winning Channel 4 drama, No Offence.

Alex Mahon, Chief Executive Officer of Channel 4, said, “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to establish such an exciting and innovative partnership with Sky which will ensure that the British Grand Prix and highlights of the 2019 Formula 1 Championship remain available on free-to-air television for UK viewers.”

Stephen van Rooyen, Chief Executive Officer of Sky UK & ROI, said, “Today’s partnership is the start of a new era of collaboration between Sky, Channel 4 and, we hope, other British broadcasters.

“Not only will this innovative partnership benefit viewers, watching via Sky or free-to-air, but it will further strengthen the ecosystem of UK broadcasters and British originated content.”
