WRC Finland MTV3 MAX
GP2 Finland MTV3 MAX
PorscheCupFinland MTV3 MAX

MTV3 is a free channel, while MAX is PayTV.

NASCAR Finland Viasat Sport 3 www.viasat.fi
IRL Finland Viasat Sport 3
GPMasters Finland Viasat Sport 3
DTM Finland Viasat Sport 3
LMES Finland Viasat Sport 3

Viasat is PayTV, only obtainable on cable or satellite. Viasat Sport 1
also seems to have F1 broadcasts (including live), which is odd,
because MTV3 should have exclusive rights in Finland. I'm not sure if
they actually show the broadcast or a black screen.

MotoGP Finland Nelonen Nelonen www.nelonen.fi
MotoGP Finland Nelonen JIM www.jimtv.fi

JIM is free, but digital-only extra channel for Nelonen ("number
four"). They usually show 125cc on JIM and 250cc and MotoGP on
Nelonen.

SBK Finland Urheilukanava Urheilukanava www.urheilukanava.tv

I think that's pretty much it. Urheilukanava ("sports channel") might
show some lesser formulas with Finns racing (propably delayed). No
ChampCar nor A1 here then.

Some further clarifications on Finland, if you don't mind.

- Everything on MAX is PayTV. The whole channel is PayTV. Everything
on MTV3 is free (with commercials).
- WRC is broadcasted on both MTV3 and MAX, with extra programs on the
latter (including the live stadium/super stages, whatever they are
called in English). Most of WRC coverage is highlights (not live)
everywhere anyway, isn't it?
- MAX shows all the F1 sessions live without commercials. It's
marketed as the largest coverage in the World, including net and
mobileTV broadcasts and supporting classes (GP2 and PorscheCup). Even
some radio broadcasts are included, but I don't know what they consist
of.
- It's not yet certain whether Viasat Sport 3 will broadcast Le Mans
24 hours. I'm even a little doubtful about the LMES series, as they
don't advertize their motorsport coverage very much (can't find
anything on their website). I have a gut feeling that DTM and
GPMasters took LMES's place. We'll see.
- Nelonen and JIM are both free, commercial channels, so everything on
them is not PayTV.
- Urheilukanava is also a free channel.
- Everything on Viasat is PayTV (you got this right, but I just wanted
to clarify)

Just 12 countries apparently replied your question here. You can find
a more comprehensive list in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...e_broadcasters

This is a further explanation of what we get.

Finland must be the most F1-crazy nation in the World. Over one fifth
of the population has been watching the race at some Grand Prix. So
it's quite understandable that we are used as guinea pigs with PayTV
approach. People are complaining about not seeing the live coverage
for free anymore, of course, but I'm not complaining. I think what I
get is well worth the cost. (Why Portugal is the other nation that
lost the free race coverage beats me, though.)

This is an example what the "largest coverage in the World" consist
of:

In addition MTV3 offers the possibility to watch the coverages live on
the net (for a fee) or with your G3 phone (for a fee), plus clips and
extra material (on both). National commercial radio station (connected
to MTV3) broadcasts reports from practices and qualifying, and live
broadcast from the GP starts.

Notes:

- (r) is a rerun
- (Kyllönen Special) is highlights with our "legendary" commentator
Matti Kyllönen who has more devotion to the sport than actual insight.
Targeted to the "common people" watching the free channel, instead of
hardcore F1-fans, who pay for live F1 broadcast and extras.
- MAX is part of a four channel PayTV package that costs 10 euros per
month. MTV3 is free, with commercian breaks, as noted before.
- F1: Extra covers F1-related issues. The Australian GP Extra was
about Kovalainen, and the Malaysian one is about an exhibition in
Helsinki Design Museum concerning F1 design (actually, it's just an
exhibition about F1 history).

Sport TV transmits all practice sessions, qualifying and the race live
(I am not sure what they will do in case of a clash with an important
football game). It is a paid cable channel (also available by satellite).
