Facebook live feed figures during the presentation varied, as far as I saw, from 5 up to a maximum of 14, and grew to 39 by the depart fictiv. Obviously that is not the racing, not something that even I would normally watch, but it suggests that viewer demand is low.
However, I would be fairly sure that the vast bulk of the cost is in having the infrastructure there to broadcast it at all: the marginal cost of having an extra hour or so of coverage is probably fairly minimal. It will be interesting to see, if there are any notable events in the pre-cobbles phase of the race, whether theer were camaras following at this time.
