F1 season begins, but not live on mainstream broadcasters

Many Indian fans of the sport, though, will not be following that familiar ritual of switching on their television in time for race.

For the first time in more than three decades, Formula 1 will not be telecast by a mainstream media entity in India. This comes after Disney Star, who held both television and streaming rights until last year, and Formula 1 failed to reach an agreement over the rights. The only option for Indian fans to watch the sport will be subscribing to Formula 1's in-house streaming app F1 TV. However, with an annual subscription priced at ₹2499, it may not fall within the budget of many fans. The pricing makes F1 TV one of the costliest OTT platforms in India without the diversity in content that other platforms carry.

MAKING it to the headlines requires certain unwritten qualifications. It must grip the collective attention of the nation, the achievement of which is no mean task. Even wars have become commonplace, often finding themselves relegated to sections assigned for topics that have lost their news worthiness in a world so weary of conflicts.
