Channel 4 will not show Formula E races in 2024 after the deal between the British terrestrial broadcaster and the world championship recently ended
After the termination of the deal between Channel 4 and Formula E, the UK terrestrial broadcaster will no longer broadcast Formula E races in 2024. The agreement, announced in January 2022, was supposed to be a multi-year deal, but Formula E is now seeking alternative coverage. Talks are currently underway with ITV and TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) to potentially show some races. Channel 4 took over coverage from the previous deal between Formula E and the BBC, which included coverage on the Red Button service and online platforms. Formula E has struggled to gain viewership in the UK, previously having deals with ITV4 and Channel 5. Whisper Films, co-founded by Jake Humphrey and David Coulthard, will produce the pre- and post-race programs, while Gravity Media will provide the gallery timeline and some cameras. Jermaine Jenas, a former professional footballer, is one of the names speculated to replace former lead presenter Vernon Kay.
