I don't think the Sky package is all that great extra value. I don't think it's great value for Sky. I knew people will become jaded and complacent very quick and if I was a Sky executive I would've never have signed off on an F1 channel. I do like the historical pieces but when they are constantly repeated they are no longer special. That's my personal taste. Maybe I'm eccentric though.
I think the scandal here isn't Sky per say, it's Eccelstone's greed. In his old age it's all about the easy windfall, rather than the long-term investment with him. There's no reason to charge broadcasters so much, there's no reason that F1 should've left FTA. There was alot of funny business there.
