Notes and abbreviations:

• * denotes Sports Editor will decide on day.
• ? denotes uncertainty about date or no date given yet.
• Delayed is, I think, later coverage on the race day after editing.
• The Documentary is the sponsor¹s compilation of interviews and race footage, usually sent to the outside-UK TV channels a few days after the race - it takes some time to edit and duplicate. The channels can then show it whenever they like, often some months later.
• @ denotes ³Eurochampions² coverage.
• Note that all networks can sublicense, eg Fox Sports to ESPN.
