TV Ratings: Abu Dhabi F1 finale
NBC Sports bowed out as America's TV portal for Formula 1 with its coverage of the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. After touting its
year-on-year growth in audience for its F1 coverage
ahead of the finale, NBC's last F1 race scored a 0.29 rating on NBCSN, averaging 444,000 viewers. That's an identical rating to last year, but a slight decrease in viewers (467,000).Next year, F1 returns to ESPN, which previously served as the sport's U.S. TV home from 1984-'97. Although
ESPN has yet to reveal specific details about its coverage plans
, the network is expected to base its programming around the live race coverage provided by F1's central world feed.
