Will Liberty takeover change MotoGP’s TV broadcast rights?

Liberty Meಌdia do not intend to s൩ell television rights for MotoGP and Formula 1 as one package.
The US-based empire announced a takeover of MotoGP this week, meanin🔴g the world’s top two-whe💙el and four-wheel championships are under the same banner.
Among the questions put to L﷽iberty Media was a query about how television deals will be dist🐼ributed.
Greg Maffei, Liberty CEO, insisted that regulat𒆙ory issues would prevent them selling TV rights to Mot🔯oGP and F1 as a single entity.
"One thing we will not be doing is negotiatin💞g MotoGP and Formula 1 together,” Maffei said♋.
“Both because of the regulatory is🅷sues, and because of the structure of our deal with 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 appealing to media partners outside of the traditional bases of Italy, Spain and France.
“And to help grow in t🧔hose other markets. ⛦I think we have some insights on that."
In the U✅K, TNT Sports have the TV rights for MotoGP while Sky💮 Sports broadcast F1.
In the US, MotoGP also partnered with TNT Sports in a fresh deal 🍨that was announced ahead 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.
