Ik ben dan ook benieuwd naar het persbericht van F1Media waar Ian Holmes een citaatje geeft over de partij met de nieuwe rechten deal in handen.G_Dragon schreef op woensdag 24 januari 2024 @ 21:47:

Viaplay is al vanaf dag 1 een ramp en blijft ook steeds weer slechte beslissingen maken, maar toch blijven ze Viaplay financieel steunen. Ik snap er heel eerlijk gezegd even niet meer zoveel van,

Want het is er nog geen dag beter op geworden sinds de licentie in handen is...
In 2021 zei ie:
Passion for Formula 1 is at an all-time high in the Netherlands right now and we’re delighted to be expanding our partnership with NENT Group who have been long-standing partners in Scandinavia and other territories. Given their commitment to unparalleled coverage and the promotion of Formula 1, we have no doubt that they will bring fans the sport they love through this exciting new platform. We look forward to seeing the innovative programming NENT Group have planned and cannot wait to return to the Netherlands later this year for the Dutch Grand Prix.”
Misschien ben ik de zure sliert dan, maar welke innovatie heeft Viaplay gebracht voor de kijker?
spoiler:
In 2018 met bekend maken van verlenging Ziggo deal zei ie: “Formula 1® in the Netherlands has a long and rich history and thanks particularly to Max Verstappen it is enjoying another significant growth period. The ‘Orange Army’ descending on Spa and Spielberg has resonated around the world and more and more Dutch fans are engaging with the sport like never before. It is for this reason that our media rights extension agreement with Ziggo Sport is tremendously important. Ziggo have been delivering top quality F1 coverage for the last few years not just through their live event programming but also in their additional shoulder-content and I have every reason to believe that this will continue and grow. What is also ground-breaking is the incorporation of the F1® TV Pro OTT service that will now be available within the Dutch market. This will be a truly collaborative operation in that the service will be co-marketed and co-branded by F1 and Ziggo thus affording fans a combined offering like never before.”
