Re: Teletext announce closedown dates

It will be interesting to see, if anyone else takes up the licences. Or whether the capacity will be used for something else. (Unlikely for analogue)

My own personal opinion is that on Freeview, the capacity is needed to assist in accomodating the movements of channels to allow the launch of HD.

I doubt there would be any point in re-advertising the teletext analogue licence.

Teletext will be continuing on C4 Analogue (+ analogue text on SKY) and C4 Freeview. But will be a cut down service only offering Racing news/cards/advertising. Presumably the advertising makes this worthwhile.
