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.

No doubt due to Ofcom's ruling on Sky's sports channel pricing.

That is sad. I guess I'll have to start watching the BBC red button equivalent.

Barnard, that is an awesome clip. It's not often you find yourself feeling a bit sorry for Richard Littlejohn!

Good, don't see why we Sky subscribers had to pay for it when Freeview owners didn't anyway.

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! Smiley

That's my life ruined then.  Seriously.  SSN is the king of all channels - but I'm not fucking paying 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.
