Sky's exclusivity to broadcast all Formula 1 races
This petition is raised to request a parliamentary debate on Formula 1 and the recent agreement that BSkyB will have exclusivity to ALL rounds of the championship, whereas the BBC will have to concede with only being able to show a percentage of the championship rounds live.
This effectively makes Formula 1 a subscription based TV event, whereas this should be a Free-to-Air TV event.
Such sporting events should be protected and prevented from being exclusively purchased by subscription TV providers and remain free to view to the watching populous.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
