There is a company owned by BE which holds the rights of the TV. How is it called? I didn't found it in the net. :wink:

There's an article here that references German pay-TV programme Premiere licensed it from Formula One Management.

What you remember is probably Ecclestone's earlier digital F1 TV thing from the 90s that had the codename Bakerville or something...
