BBC to end Red Button digital text

Aye, I noticed that last week. It existed for 4 years? Blimey.

After the debacle of KiC on Freeview, it does suggest that it can be a bit of an expensive option for a few of the smaller fry on there.

I see Now 90s has turned up on FV, but only FTA between 5-7am, internet-connected the rest of the time.

That is disappointing as I would think the Red Button text thing is something many rely on it to check their lottery numbers on regularly.
Does seem like another cost cutting exercise to ensure that they can afford Gary Lineker's wage demands in future!!

I will be sad to see it go - quite often i have used it to check football results on a Sunday morning
