Eurosport channels end 28th Feb

[RickS1K]

I see some of the motorcycle press is today reporting that EuroSport is being effectively emerged into TNT. It's happening in 28th Feb.

I have what used to be BT Sport, and I get Eurosport TV channels. I'm not sure if they are being rebranded as additional TNT Sport channels, or being discontinued in favour of the ****** ****** Discovery app. Does anyone know what's happening, haven't found anything on web to explain.

If you're on sky or virgin, then this might end up costing you more to watch WSBK, BSB, article says. I assume that you have to have been contacted by today to let you know if these changes to existing subs, have you? I'm already concerned that BT/EE haven't told me of any changes.

TNT Sports replaces both.
I don't have Sky or BT or Virgin.
I was paying £6.99 for the eurosport player and whatever the motogp app cost me last year.
MotoGP want £200 for their player this year. So that's £16.66+£6.99 = £23.65

I will bin the MotoGP subs and pick up the TNT Subs at £31 to retain the same content plus access to a **** load of football I couldn't care less about but am probably subsidising.

Sigh.

you can get the mgp app cheaper if you pay for it through a VPN and put yourself in a different country (think i went dutch last year..). you just need to change your address on your paypal to the country your saying you are in (just the UK bit, not the whole address). done that for the last few years,it's ******** we, in the UK have to pay more than other European countries, so loop hole exploited!!

Had no idea of the changes, that would definitely make me reevaluate the value of my Sky subscription, watched a lot of bikes and other motorsport on Eurosport. Sky will now cost me more, but for less useful content.

Just got the email I was expecting. Eurosport 1 and 2 go, programming moves to TNT channels 1-4... and the crappy app...

Was just reading that WSBK and MotoGP season passes on their app are cheaper than going with TNT. So it's BSB which suffers.

Agree with Alex. I love the MotoGP app through Apple TV but to get all 3 championships I’ll have to pay £30 a month for 9 months. I’ve looked at the calendars and the first WSBK is while Eurosport still exists so only need to take the TNT subscription from 14th March to 14th November to cover all rounds of all championships. Still £270 mostly for bloody football

Got the WSBK sub in November for €55 euro so I could watch on the go.. pleased I did now. Wonder if they'll keep the same commentary teams or get someone like Rupaul in to tick the diversity boxes
