However, because of the [[television licence|licence fee]] freeze and resultant review of cost constraints, it was believed that BBC were to leave F1 after the 2011 season. A new broadcast rights deal was announced on 29 July 2011, stating that [[Sky Sports F1]] would cover all races live, (half of which, BBC would be exclusively live). Both [[Sky Sports]] and BBC would cover the remaining races live including the [[British Grand Prix]]. It allowed BBC to show highlights of all races, (including the other races that BBC did not have live rights to cover).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/sporteditors/2011/07/f1_coverage_to_be_shared_betwe.html|title=New F1 deal explained|first=Ben|last=Gallop|date=29 July 2011|accessdate=31 July 2011|work=BBC Sport|publisher=[[BBC]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/29/bbc-sky-share-f1-broadcast-rights|title=BBC and Sky to share F1 broadcast rights|work=[[theguardian.com|guardian.co.uk]]|publisher=[[Guardian Media Group]]|date=29 July 2011|accessdate=20 December 2011|first=John|last=Plunkett}}</ref> Martin Brundle and Ted Kravitz left to join Sky for 2012, [[Ben Edwards]] replaced Brundle and [[Gary Anderson (motorsport)|Gary Anderson]] replaced Kravitz.
