Will Liberty takeover change MotoGP’s TV broadcast rights?

Liberty Media do🍨 not intend 🌄to sell television rights for MotoGP and Formula 1 as one package.
The US-based empire announced a takeover of MotoGP this ꧅week, meaning the world’s top two-wheel and four-wheel championships are under the same banner.
Among the questions put to Liberty Media was a query about how television deals will be🍒 distr💞ibuted.
Greg Maffei, Liberty CEO, insisted tha♔t regulatory issues would prevent them selling ജTV rights to MotoGP and F1 as a single entity.
"One thing we🅷 will not be doing is nego𝐆tiating MotoGP and Formula 1 together,” Maffei said.
“Both because of the regulatory issues, and because of the structure of our deal wi♓th our F1 partners.
"So that's a non-starter.
“I would think Liberty has insights into how the media landscape is evolving, and how to make the product appeal♒ing to media partners outside of the traditional bases of Italy, Spain and France.
“And to help grow in those other markets. I think we have some insights on th꧑at."
In the UK, TNT Sꦿports have the TV right🦄s for MotoGP while Sky Sports broadcast F1.
In the US, MotoGP also p♛artnered with TNT Sports in a fresh deal that was announced ahe▨ad of the season-opening grand prix.
ESPN show F1 in the United States.
None of these television deals will be impacted this season, after the takeover of💯 MotoGP by Liberty.
