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 Football World Cup and the Olympic Games. The 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix attracted an average live global TV audience of 83 million viewers, with a total of 154 million viewers.1
Official figures from FOM (Formula One Management), show Formula One television broadcasts are witnessed on average 58 billion times per season.citation needed
TV broadcasters all take what is known as the 'World Feed', which since 2007 has been produced by FOM (Formula One Management), for the majority of the rounds of the World Championship. Every race is produced in 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. In 2008, the world feed of the Monaco Grand Prix was produced by the local host VCF and it is most likely that the Japanese Grand Prix and Brazilian Grand Prix world feeds will too be produced by the local broadcaster.
The only stations which have any difference are Premiere in Germany and SKY Italia in Italy. These Pay TV stations offer all sessions live and interactive, with features such as on-board, data and highlights channels, similar to the now defunct F1 Digital + and OBN F1 + interactive service. SKY Italia even shows two different onboard channels, one of them showing only the Ferrari drivers.
