KiRiN January 15, 2005 Share KiRiN Member January 15, 2005 CBS to show Formula 1 races in 2005 The American network CBS Sports is to give Formula 1 coverage a try in 2005. The network has agreed a deal to broadcast four Grands Prix, beginning in late April, with two hour-long lifestyle specials to promote Formula 1 in the United States. This will give F1 a total of 10 hours of programming on a US network. The deal was put together by DEC Entertainment which recently secured the US rights to Formula 1. The first race to be aired will be the San Marino Grand Prix which will be broadcast on April 24. CBS will then show the events at Barcelona, the Nurburgring and will show the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal live. Robert J. Correa, the senior vice-president of programming at CBS Sports, says Formula 1 will fit well into CBS's racing package. ahh... its going to be nice to see some real racing on network tv.

Vovik April 11, 2005 Share Vovik Member April 11, 2005 That weirded me out too. But it'll probably only worsen my picture quality cause I have to get the signal through a reg. antenna for CBS unlike SPEED thru DishNetwork. Honestly though, it'll be good if ratings in US going to go up, maybe US will get 2 races in the future along with a driver and then there's going to be an F1 heaven here in the states!
