The private chain makes sure that it has not the rights of transmission of the Formula 1 although Mediapro, his partner, has come to an agreement to acquire them, exclusive and for the whole Spanish territory, from 2009 until 2013

José Miguel Contreras, manager of The Sixth one, has said "What more should want that to say that we have the rights of the Formula 1, because it would be a bombshell that I would like giving and would be no motive for concealing it. But I swear to you that there is nothing, only the announcement of Bernie Ecclestone that Mediapro has acquired the rights".

Contreras has explained the position of his chain. "This topic affects an associate our (Mediapro), but laSexta it has not anything in common and does not know, also, the aspects of the negotiation and how the topic has taken", it has pointed out.

As he has emphasized, they have not received any offer to negotiate with Mediapro, although he has admitted that "it would be an extraordinary opportunity" to be able to have it. "When the rights go out to the sale, to laSexta he would like having it everything: the 'Champions', the Cup of the King, the basketball... but we know that it is impossible to have everything".
