This is a List of Formula One broadcasters and 'World Feed' producers. Formula One, the highest level of circuit racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, motor sport's world governing body, can be seen live or tape delayed on television in almost every country and territory around the world.
It attracts one of the largest global TV audiences after the Football World Cup and the Olympic Games, with a global audience of 600 million people per race in 2008[1]. Official figures from FOM (Formula One Management), show Formula One television broadcasts are witnessed on average 58 billion times per season.[citation needed]
TV broadcasters all take what is known as the 'World Feed', which since 2007 has been produced by FOM (Formula One Management), for the majority of the rounds of the World Championship. Every race is produced in widescreen. Previously, a 'host broadcaster' from each nation produced the World Feed for their home race, for example TF1 for the French Grand Prix. This led to a two-tier system which was unpopular with viewers due to local broadcasters focusing heavily on local teams and drivers, whilst missing key moments.
For the 2009 season, the World Feed will be produced by FOM for every race apart from the Monaco Grand Prix, produced by Télé Monte Carlo.
Three broadcasters provide a service beyond the World Feed, containing elements of the defunct F1 Digital+ service. Sky Italia offers the most comprehensive live service showing two onboard channels, one dedicated exclusively to Ferrari, alongside a live data feed. Premiere provides two additional live channels with the main onboard channel alongside data. For the 2009 season the BBC will carry the same onboard channel as used by Premiere and Sky Italia.[2]
The World Feed is presently not available in High Definition. The Japanese Grand Prix has been broadcast locally in High Definition for the past three seasons, but this has not been made available to broadcasters outside of the country.[citation needed]

World Feed producers
Current producers
For the 2009 season, only the Monaco Grand Prix and Japanese Grand Prix are not produced by FOM.
Former producers (1990 - 2008)
- Below are the previous World Feed Producers for Grands Prix from 1990 until 2008.
- Between 1997 and 1999 the Brazilian GP World Feed was produced by FOM. What was shown was a reduced version of the F1 Digital+ main feed, mainly lacking onboard angles and without the pay per view graphics. GloboTV continued to produce an alternative National Feed for Brazilian viewers.
- Between 2000 and 2002 the US Grand Prix was broadcast locally by ABC. However, they did not ever produce the World Feed.
- In 1991, the French GP was broadcast in France by La Cinq, which held rights for F1.
