The phrase "exclusive, domestic broadcast rights" say to me that Speedvision is SOL, unless this new US domestic rights-holder decides to sell the rights for the races CBS won't carry to SV.
Pat Summerall. Ken Squier. Oh, the humanity.
Kill me now.

I just checked the speedtv (I still call it speedvision) program listings:
http://www.speedtv.com/programs/
There is no mention of Formula 1.
Take my belt and shoelaces now.

I can't figure why an American network would cover 4 races, and one of them would not be the US Grand Prix. Anyone got any thoughts on that?
As to why they are covering F1 at all, I think (Hope) it is getting more popular in the US. As for CBS, in my opinion they do a pretty good job with other sports. It would be hard to be worse than ABC was. The problem with mainstream networks doing F1, in my opinion, is that they talk to the audience like it is full of kindergartners. They over explain everything, and figure we are just stick and ballers, who know nothing about F1. At least Speed treats us like adults.
