Two more TV broadcasters worried about split

Jun.20 (GMM) Another TV broadcaster has indicated its interest in joining the 'breakaway eight' in leaving formula one at the end of the year.

It has already emerged that Sky Italia and Britain's BBC are concerned about being left in an official F1 series devoid of the star names.

Germany's RTL is also worried about its contract. "We would have to examine whether there is an exit clause," spokesman Matthias Bolhofer told the DPA news agency.

A spokesman for Premiere said the German Pay-TV broadcaster will also be keeping "close contact" with the relevant parties in the midst of the political crisis.
