After 16 years with NBC as its primary broadcast partner, IndyCar is jumping to Los Angeles-based Fox, which reportedly offered more than $25 million a year for the rights, said to be a significant increase from what NBC paid.

Fox also promised to broadcast all 17 races on linear television in addition to coverage on its Spanish-language cable network, Fox Deportes.

The next year, China banned “sissy men and other abnormal aesthetics” from broadcast television.

That desire resulted in “The Fall,” which will be part of the first batch of episodes to roll out digitally Thursday and will be broadcast on PBS on Nov. 21.

The announcement galvanised super-fan Carys Ashby to set up the petition to try to save it, but as the last of more than 4,500 episodes is broadcast, she has accepted defeat, saying its final bow represents the "end of an era".
