This is a List of Formula One broadcasters and 'World Feed' producers. Formula One, the highest level of circuit racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, motor sport's world governing body, can be seen live or tape delayed on television in almost every country and territory around the world.
It attracts one of the largest global TV audiences after the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games, with a total global audience of about 425 million people for the 2014 race season.[1]
TV broadcasters all take what is known as the 'World Feed', which since 2007 has been produced by FOM (Formula One Management), for almost every round of the World Championship. Every race is produced in 16:9 widescreen.
Previously, a 'host broadcaster' from each nation produced the World Feed for their home race, for example TF1 for the French Grand Prix. This led to a two-tier system which was unpopular with viewers due to local broadcasters focusing heavily on local teams and drivers, whilst missing key moments.
For the 2015 season, the World Feed was produced by FOM for every race apart from the Monaco Grand Prix, produced by Télé Monte Carlo.
Alongside the main World Feed, FOM also produce a Pit-lane channel, showing shots from the pitlane and alternative camera angles, along with detailed weather and tyre information, and extra team radio. FOM also produce onboard channels, showing live video from cameras installed on the drivers' cars. The channels switch between different cars throughout the session. FOM also make available a "Driver tracker" channel, showing live positions of all the cars on the track during a session, as well as a timing screen showing live lap-times and circuit sector information.
Currently, broadcasters offering coverage of these FOM-produced extra channels include Sky Sport Germany, Sky Sports F1 (UK), Fox Sports Australia, Sky Sport F1 (Italy), Movistar F1 (Spain), Play Sports (Belgium) and NBC Sports (USA). Out of the 5 on board channels, Fox Sports Australia only shows the Master onboard channel to its viewers, whereas Sky Sports F1 makes all 5 on board channels available. The Pit lane, Driver Tracker and Live Timing channels are available to Sky viewers in the United Kingdom.
For the 2011 season Formula One Management released a High Definition feed to broadcasters for the first time, and for 2012, the footage was filmed with 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound audio.
Broadcasters
Brazil
In SporTV are broadcast live free practice from Thursday and Friday and Race Highlight in Pay TV. In the Rede Globo are broadcast live Qualifiers and Races of Formula One in Free TV.
United Kingdom
In 2011, Sky Sports signed a 7-year deal with the BBC to show live Formula One on Sky in the United Kingdom for the first time. The deal which ran between 2012 and 2015 saw Sky Sports show live coverage of every session of the season on their own F1 dedicated channel, Sky Sports F1.[2] Sky Sports F1 show all races and qualifying sessions live without the interruption of adverts.[3] In 2016, Sky extended their contract to 2024, and will be the exclusive rights holders in the UK and Ireland from 2019; the British Grand Prix and highlights of all other races will be shown free-to-air.[4] At the same time it was announced that Sky will broadcast all races in ultra-high-definition (UHD) from 2017.
The BBC continued to broadcast live coverage of half the races and all 20 races had "extended highlights". In 2012, they broadcast live coverage from China, Spain, Monaco, Europe (Valencia), Britain, Belgium, Singapore, Korea, Abu Dhabi and Brazil.[5] They also showed live coverage of practice and qualifying sessions from those races.[6] The deal set that the British Grand Prix and the final race had to be shown live on the BBC.
For each Grand Prix (even if live) the BBC showed "extended highlights" of the race just a few hours after it had been broadcast. Late afternoon for early hours races and/or early evening. Late evening races were shown on the day and repeated on Monday evening.[7] The BBC Radio 5 Live coverage was unaffected.
BBC ended their television contract after the 2015 season, transferring their rights to Channel 4 until the end of the 2018 season.[8] Sky Sports F1 will remain unaffected and BBC Radio 5 Live and 5 Live Sports Extra will be extended until 2021.[9] Like the BBC, Channel 4 will always show the British Grand Prix and the final race live.
Channel 4's live broadcast for 2016 will be Bahrain, Spain, Europe (Baku), Britain, Hungary, Belgium, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico and Abu Dhabi.[10] Live races will also have "extended highlights" of the race just a few hours after it had been broadcast. Late afternoon for early hours races and/or early evening. Late evening races were shown on the day and repeated on Monday evening
United States
On 14 October 2012, NBC Sports reached a 4-year deal to broadcast Formula One races in the United States, replacing Speed and Fox Sports—who have been long-time F1 broadcast partners. The deal provides over 100 hours of F1 coverage across multiple NBCUniversal networks; the majority of its coverage (including most races, and all practice/qualifying sessions) will be broadcast by the pay channel NBCSN, while 4 races will be aired by the free-to-air NBC network. Due to scheduling conflicts, two races in 2013 were shown on NBC's financial news network CNBC. Races also became available through NBC Sports' digital platforms, such as the NBC Sports Live Extra app. NBC's broadcast team consists of David Hobbs, Steve Matchett, and Leigh Diffey, with Will Buxton as pit reporter.[11]
Univision Deportes Network holds Spanish-language rights to Formula One races in the U.S. Unlike NBC Sports, races on Univision Deportes Network are shown without commercial interruption.

World Feed producers
Current producers
For the 2016 season, only the Monaco Grand Prix is not produced by FOM.
Former producers (1990–2015)
Below are the previous World Feed Producers for Grands Prix from 1990 until 2015.
- Between 1997 and 1999 the Brazilian GP World Feed was produced by FOM. What was shown was a reduced version of the F1 Digital+ main feed, mainly lacking onboard angles and without the pay per view graphics. Rede Globo continued to produce an alternative National Feed for Brazilian viewers.
- From 2001 to 2003, the Australian Grand Prix was broadcast locally in widescreen (16:9) on Channel 9 Digital (2001-2002) and Channel 10 Digital (2003). For Non-Digital Local viewers, they received a letterbox (16:10 feed in a 4:3 frame) version of the Feed, while international viewers got a standard 4:3 feed. When FOM took over the broadcast in 2004, the local coverage was reverted to 4:3.
- In 2001 and 2002 the US Grand Prix was broadcast locally by ABC. However, they did not ever produce the World Feed.
- In 1991, the French GP was broadcast in France by La Cinq, which held rights for F1.
