Following a year of complaints from Australian fans over the quality of their formula1 television coverage, it is currently rumoured that the Nine Network could swap their formula1 rights with another network.
It is thought that discussions between Nine Network, which is one of the country's biggest networks and has terrestrially broadcast formula1 for 16 years, and Ten Network are ongoing.
Nine is believed to be willing to swap the broadcasting rights to formula1 for Ten's rights to show the Melbourne Cup, the country's biggest horse race and one that attracts significant overseas interest.
Neither company has confirmed the reports.
