Don't know if this is old news but Sly Sports News will be pulled from Freeview later this year:

Bothered?

It's been a bit of an odd one for a while anyway.

I subscribe to the Sky Sports package and the news package. But if I dropped the news package I'd lose Sky Sports News while other people (freeviewers) get it for nowt.

I'm bothered - I like leaving it on around transfer time while Im doing other stuff. It can be laughably bad though at times, they don't seem to have particularly high standards for recruitment.

Gutted. I have freeview in my bedroom and it's the first thing that goes on in the morning.

I think skysports is shit
harping on about cricket when it says "football news" gets on my tits

I get it free on virgin and will continue to do so even though I don't get sky sports. This probably has something to do with them being forced to lower prices of sky sports and moves to rival companys thus they are losing money so need to start charging for other avenues to make it back. Just a guess.

Oh well, can't say I'll miss it that much. A hours worth of predominately made up bollox every day repeated ad nausum ... fuck em

Shit anyway,the headlines are ok but the rest is carp NO TAR CHIEF STICK IT IN YER PIPE.

I'm disappointed because I watch it over Cornflakes Monday while Friday - but the clue is in the name. Freeview.

100% this.

"And coming up, (after the six minute break), this news, that news, and the other news", but don't hold your fuckin breath. Fuck knows what comes next.

If it wasn't for the birds I wouldn't watch more than three minutes after the hour.

Is Millie Clode still on SSN these days?

I'll miss it on deadline day but thats about it. Ad breaks every 10 minutes gets on my tits. There's only so much Kasabian one can take.
