Channel 4 the new home of FTA Formula 1.

No Ad breaks during races.

Setanta did originally have their own commentators, but they gave that all up a few years ago (around 2012, as mentioned above) and moved to taking BBC commentary.

CITV opt outs

There is two questions to this:

Presumably there was a late-ish change? He-Man was pulled but not all regions updated their listings in time? If anyone has copies of the TVTimes, it would be interesting to see if He-Man was listed...
