Well no more BSB then
Discussion
Eurosport has been fully absorbed into TNT, so if you want to watch Eurosport 1 or 2 then instead of £4 a month on a Discovery plus package, you now need to pay £30 a month ( does include MotoGP tho) , so if like me you only wanted to watch BsB live you e just been priced out of by Warner bros inc.
I don't see it as too much of a problem for me as already have TNT for the Moto GP so actually reduces spending slightly not needing Discovery + too but I can understand the frustration.
EE offer deals on TNT with mobile packages and I think BT offer a discounted price with BT broadband.

Its far from ideal but Virgin seem to offer it for an extra £18/month on a rolling 30 day contract. I'm currently on £40 for broadband and the most basic tv package so £108 extra to watch this season's BSB.
I'd guess if you were signing up to a new 18 month deal you might get a cheaper package but I don't know if you would be committed to 18 months of TNT or if you could drop it.

That's it, if you've been watching MotoGP then that's been on TNT for a while. If anything it would mean I could get shot of Eurosports (not that I will as I'm too lazy EE offer deals on TNT with mobile packages and I think BT offer a discounted price with BT broadband.

For 2025 - TNT have already indicated they're after the 6N for 2026 and beyond. Personally I think it should be a protected event like the FA Cup and Wimbledon.Same is happening to cycling, this is the last year of ITV coverage. I don’t know we are such slaves to money that we allow giant American corporations to bully their way into our society and take away long established viewing rights just because the are the highest bidder. A similar thing happened to the European music channels in the 00s when MTV bought them up so they could push their US s
te out to Europe.
I completely lost interest in football about 25 years ago when it became inaccessible unless you were willing to pay big money on match tickets or TV subscriptions. I expect a lot of people will feel the same way about BSB, 6N, cycling etc. and it may ultimately kill the sports, but not before American TV fat cats and their shareholders have lined their pockets in the short term.

That's interesting about the rolling contract. I'm 14months into an 18 month Virgin contract that has TNT as part of the package. Fairly sure I'm committed to it for the full term.I'd guess if you were signing up to a new 18 month deal you might get a cheaper package but I don't know if you would be committed to 18 months of TNT or if you could drop it.

Depends on how much bike racing (or other sports) you actually watch. TNT is about double the cost of Videopass for MotoGP and Discovery+ (or WSBK Videopass). I don't follow superbike racing that closely atm so the price hike means it's gone and, unless her majesty wants TNT for the rugby, then I think we'll just pay for MotoGP (for now).)That's the great side of streaming services, they're a piece of piss to pick and choose what you want to pay for.
