Sky removing channels from Freeview

[E31Shrew]

Just noticed that Sky are removing Sky Sports News from Freeview on Aug 23rd. I get the impression that this will be the thin end of the wedge, as they seem to be slagging off all and sundry, after being forced to reduce prices of content, to BT and Virgin.
Anyone know whether Sky news and Sky 3 are leaving Freeview soon?

Apparently the new HD versions of ITV2 & ITV3 will be on pay-TV only.

You'll still get ITV2 & ITV3 in standard definition on freeview though.

Must say I'd be surprised if ANYONE subscribed to these rubbish channels though...surely they'll have to be part of one of Sky's bundled packages.

Without a doubt. Noone, not even Peter Andre's mother, is going to pay to watch back to back episodes of that pleb in 720p.
