JEAN MURRAY,
Sir, - I have spent the last couple of weeks following the Eurosport story with great interest. I, like many other people, am very unhappy with NTL's decision to remove this great channel from our TV screens.
I consequently decided to try and find out as much information as possible about the situation. It has not been an easy task. NTL has been very reluctant to discuss the situation. Eurosport on the other hand has been very helpful, replying to Emails and returning calls etc.
The latest situation is that NTL has offered Eurosport a slot on its digital package. Both companies are in discussions so if and when they reach an agreement a statement will be made to the press.
Makes you wonder if NTL hasn't planned all of this very carefully. Despite knowing how popular Eurosport is amongst viewers, removing it anyway, and putting it onto its digital package where those of us who want to continue watching the station will have to pay extra thus boosting NTL's ailing business. Or am I just being a cynic? - Yours, etc.,
