Title: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, June 28, 2010, 17:38:31 Not seen this mentioned. Old news now (two weeks) but a bit of a bummer for freeview viewers, no more Jeff on a Saturday afternoon.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/10346894.stm No doubt due to Ofcom's ruling on Sky's sports channel pricing. Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: reeves4england on Monday, June 28, 2010, 17:39:38 That is sad. I guess I'll have to start watching the BBC red button equivalent.
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, June 28, 2010, 17:40:46 Yeah but Sky 3+1, I can't wait!
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: skin_im_buzzer on Monday, June 28, 2010, 17:47:50 Oh no...That means BBC Score with Garth Crooks :suicide:
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, June 28, 2010, 18:16:46 No doubt due to Ofcom's ruling on Sky's sports channel pricing. Doesnt suprise me after News International's decision to charge for online papers? Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Barnard on Monday, June 28, 2010, 18:23:12 Oh no...That means BBC Score with Garth Crooks :suicide: Brilliant! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBYpzPZzrqA Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, June 28, 2010, 18:31:54 He reminds me of Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: skin_im_buzzer on Monday, June 28, 2010, 18:59:15 Barnard, that is an awesome clip. It's not often you find yourself feeling a bit sorry for Richard Littlejohn!
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Batch on Monday, June 28, 2010, 18:59:33 Good, don't see why we Sky subscribers had to pay for it when Freeview owners didn't anyway.
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Barry Scott on Monday, June 28, 2010, 21:12:14 Seconded Batch. I have Sky but don't get it as i don't pay for sports or news, yet loads of friends do because they have freeview. Used to piss me off, because i can't get freeview! :)
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Doore on Monday, June 28, 2010, 21:48:51 That's my life ruined then. Seriously. SSN is the king of all channels - but I'm not fucking paying for it.
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, June 28, 2010, 21:50:26 Stupid really. Can't see why you have to pay for it and not for Sky News then?
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: TownLoyal on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 00:10:22 Good, don't see why we Sky subscribers had to pay for it when Freeview owners didn't anyway. I dont have tv so this dont really affect me too much, but when my parents didnt pay for SS1 etc they still got SSN without paying extra for it? Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Batch on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 06:58:43 I dont have tv so this dont really affect me too much, but when my parents didnt pay for SS1 etc they still got SSN without paying extra for it? It's also part of the News & Events Pack as well as the Sports pack. If you don't have one of these you can't get it. Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 08:23:44 I love my sky but i will not pay for Sports......its just too much.
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 08:32:19 Sky Sports News is awful. I honestly cannot stand it.
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: pauld on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 08:52:21 Sky Sports News is awful. I honestly cannot stand it. I'm glad it's not just me. It's nearly as bad as the main Sky News. Won't miss eitherTitle: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 08:53:43 I only really watch it for Jeff & Co on a Saturday. Now I'll have to put up with Garth Crooks, Gavin Peacock and Steve Claridge on the BBC.
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: pauld on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 08:55:51 I only really watch it for Jeff & Co on a Saturday. Now I'll have to put up with Garth Crooks, Gavin Peacock and Steve Claridge on the BBC. If I'm not at a Town game, I'm listening to it on the radio so I've never really watched it on Sat afternoonsTitle: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: tans on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 08:59:03 I'll still watch it. The birds will look even better when it comes out in HD.
Incidentally if you have by vision sky sports is coming out on there soon. Extortionate price though I suspect. Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, June 29, 2010, 10:43:38 i watch sky sports news for hlaf hour each day.that is more than enough.
good at what is does though Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: One F In Fitton on Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 17:54:54 Setanta's sports news channel disappearing was the real pisser. I used to watch it because it was soooo bad....really unbelievably bad......which made it extremely entertaining.
Title: Re: No more free Sky Sports News Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 19:04:16 Sky Sports News is the first place I can see the goals from league 1 on a Saturday.
I subscribe to all sky channels (apart from the porn) anyway so doesn't actually affect me. |
