Newspaper is indeed legit and one of the major ones.
however I believe there is a law saying that F1 and other major sporting events must remain free to air on UK TV.

I don't think F1 is protected, I think it is Bernie himself who prefers it to be on 'terrestrial TV' (is that phrase even in use nowadays? Or is just 'freeview'?)
There is something that they brought out after all the crap with the cricket, it covers to some extent the football, mainly cup stuff, champions legaue, facup etc. I believe cricket worldcup is in there too. Not sure about F1 though. For a lot of sports I think it only requires that suitable highlights be made available.
This cannot happen! If F1 goes off the Beeb it'll be the end of an era!!! :frown:
