BSkyB has announced that Sky Sports News is to become a pay-TV channel, after eight years of being available on Freeview.​

No more soccer saturday or Jeff Steffling .......​

What do you think about this ?​

However ..........

The 24-hour sports news channel will be replaced on Freeview by Sky 3+1 &
"As part of a subscription service, customers can look forward to expanded coverage and the launch of Europe's first HD sports news service."

I just got Freeview for my room. How annoying. Sky+ downstairs though, so not the end of the world.

Sky 3+1 is alright, atleast they've given some decent replacements.

This is a cruel trick for people who don't have the money to get Sky or Virgin. Shame on you BSkyB.
