All on ITV4.
Presumably Jim Rosenthal won't be invited back and either Matt Smith or Craig Doyle will front it, with perhaps any fights big enough to warrant ITV1 coverage fronted by Steve Rider.
Notice on the Ryder Cup the BBC are using their own graphics - I assume Sky Sports do the same then.

The graphics used in Germany on Premiere are the same as the Sky ones but the score is written as USA v EUR instead of US v EU on Sky. English commentary is different though, with no adverts either.

Haven't posted in a while, but caught this bit of news on the F1 website Pitpass this morning regarding the Beeb's F1 coverage next year.
All unconfirmed but, if it's accurate:
Jonathan Legard and Martin Brundle on commentary
Lee McKenzie as pit lane reporter
David Coulthard as pundit
Jake Humphrey presenting

Also rumoured that Humphrey and Coulthard will be based in the BBC Sport studio rather than out at the track.

Personally, as Johnathan Ledgard hasn't called an F1 race for 3 years now, that's a bit of risk.
Ben Edwards or Martin Haven for me alongside Bully Brundle would be a great comms team.
Presenting the coverage from TC5 is the curveball in the plans (if true). Given how for the past few years (with one or two exceptions in the Rosenthal years for the fly-aways) it's been presented from the paddock - seeing the show back in a studio setting will be a bit of a shock to the system. Espsh as Moto GP is presented live from the tracks.
But thinking about it, just what does having Ryder and Blundell add having them stand there at the circut? The amount of guests grabbed by the NorthOne production team on the ground is minimal (usually Lewis's Dad) and if you freed up the 2 cameras in the paddock used by ITV for Steve and Mark, and got them to move around and find the personel then they can be used to do interviews down the line to London. Could be a good move by the Beeb.

Well it would seem a retrograde step having the presenter and guest sat in a studio watching the race after years of presentation live at the circuit. Down the lines never look as good as experiencing the thing first hand. I realise it's superficial but it would lose some of the immediacy.
Love it or loathe it (usually because of the adverts) ITV did revitalise the coverage of F1, and the BBC should be picking up the baton where they left it, not taking it back 10 years.

ITV rarely get the credit they deserve when it comes to their sport coverage, and presentation wise there is no debate that being live on location adds alot to the coverage - even though in theory the hosts are doing little more than they could in a studio.
It's the ads of course which have always been the stumbling block in the coverage - and considering they can spare 90 minutes for the football, I don't see why they couldn't have structured the ads so they were shown just pre and post race for F1 - especially considering they have an hour long build up.
