Freeview to lose Sky Sports News

One of the better sources for 'television' news about Hereford United is to become a pay-TV channel.

Sky Sports News will not be available on Freeview from 'later this year', being replaced by a +1 version of Sky3. From then it will only be available with Sky, Virgin Media or Talk Talk TV.

Meanwhile the Murdoch empire which controls Sky are moving towards subscription only websites for both the Sun and the Times in an effort to increase income.
