Gutted that Eurosport will be disappearing right at the end of the winter sports season. Will be a huge blow to the many minority sports Eurosport cover

WTF is quest

iangoldsworthy.bsky.social•37 days ago

Is this the official death knell for any small, lingering hopes that the itv highlights package might continue?

It’s been my favourite sports show for 20+ years and gutted to be losing my summers with Gary Imlach et al

This ends it

A massively increased paywall from £7 a month to £31. Will also affect snowsports, snooker and other Eurosport coverage of course. Booo!

annaholding.bsky.social•36 days ago

£31?!!!? It’s getting so ridiculous

baldybeardy799.bsky.social•37 days ago

Not good at all!!!!

antmcd7.bsky.social•36 days ago

This is bad. Really bad.

elburgo.bsky.social•36 days ago

Good

Such a shame. The Quest highlights shows for the other Grand Tours are complete pants - not in the same league as the vastly superior itv4 offering.

£30.99 a month. That’s a hard no. Even for those that can afford it, it’s hard to justify.

Anyway in unrelated news Firestick sales continue to rise.

Pity....l assume there are others like me who got in to TdF by just occasionally watching and then really got into it...and ended up buying myself a bike.

So unfair!

Going to miss my 3 weeks of fighting with the ITVX app. Seriously though, I hope they use the ITV presenting team as they don't come much better than Gary Imlach.

Ah Quest, the dumping ground for any old tat Discovery has to meet bare minimum requirements of free to air.

This is a disaster for the sport I love and will kill off any growth in elite British cyclists. I’m devastated I simply can’t pay any more for on line content. I am devastated. At times watching a road race has helped me cope. All in the name of greed.

anyone who has tried to PVR record Giro/Vuelta highlights on Quest knows what's coming....
