The Formula 1 company has announced a multi-year analogue and digital partnership with ESPN, the US cable and satellite sports broadcaster, which is part of the ABC empire, which is itself owned by the Walt Disney Company. The first F1 broadcast in the US was by ABC, back in 1962. The deal begins in March next year and will (presumably) bring to an end the current arrangements with rival NBC. The United States Grand Prix will be broadcast on ABC, with all the races being broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. More than 125 hours of Formula 1 programming, including all practice sessions, qualifying and races, will be shown live and in replay across ESPN platforms.

Is every single race in F1 called a Grand Prix?

ESPN overpaying for the rights to show a sport (loose term here), what could possibly go wrong?

Hope they get Buxton, Matchett, Diffey, and Hobbs as commentators. Otherwise this is going to suck... like PGA tour on Fox level of suck.

How did ESPN realize I wasn't watching their Channel anymore and switched to Formula 1 on NBC SPORTS? Hmmmm
