As far as Liberty's plans, it's possible the ESPN deal is just for the short term. Motorsport.com had this comment yesterday: "The announcement comes amid plans from Liberty Media to push for OTT (Over The Top) streaming in the near future, offering fans a direct-to-consumer service akin to Netflix or Amazon Video."
Concur!

Hopefully, short term is the case. I assume 2021 is the target for direct-to-consumer service.
