    F1 To Be Broadcast Commercial Free On ESPN Through 2018 Season

    http://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/23103594/espn-goes-commercial-free-rest-2018-f1-coverage-us

    ESPN will continue to look at ways to improve its F1 coverage throughout the year.
    "We intend to present the F1 races in this way for the balance of the 2018 season," said Burke Magnus, ESPN executive vice president, programming & scheduling. "F1 fans are passionate and we listened to a lot of feedback from them -- the fans are very informed and the feedback we received was both polite and constructive. It helped us.
    "We don't have a completely finished product but we're very happy with the way the changes after Australia were received. We'll continue to keep working to make it better for the fans."

    Yep, plus WSBK. if you don't have BeIN, Motogp has a yearly online plan, all races plus FP1,2,3, Qualy, and race for all 3, plus previous championships from the 80s. I think i paid $100 for it.

    They have been commercial free for a few years, I found out in 2014. NBC = Nothing But Commercials / Nothing But Commentators. I can't believe how little of a live race they would actually cover; (excluding live feed) useless replays, useless driver promos when going to commercials, and who the F wants to see 3 blowhards in a studio when a live race is going on???? I did like David Hobbs and Will Buxton does a great job on the grid.
    The guys who are talking during the races now do a much better accurate job now.

    I will switch to Mothers products when I run out of what I have now and will let Mothers know.

    So it is $5 a month to have ESPN streaming app on your smart TV? No wonder why they are dropping the commercials, who wants to pay for streaming service and still watch commercial interruptions.
