Given that Warner Bros Discovery was already showing Formula E through Eurosport, this is basically a lose of the FTA element (Room for some races based on this article) and a swap of channels for the Pay option.
Also confirms that Jermaine Jenas will join as presenter.

This would explain the great pains FE had to confirm that there would be free rebroadcasts a week later (after any exclusivity elapsed) when they launched their archive service. They clearly want the rights fees, but similarly they're too small to lose the share associated with being confined to a paywall. NASCAR do it similarly and have done well out of it, but they at least have a large base to begin with.
