"In the end, the resources required to keep publishing its much-loved content
pages has proved too much. DMGT's A+N Media is shutting down all of loss-making
Teletext's editorial operations Monday and Tuesday, after 15 years.

That means news, sport, entertainment and other content is disappearing -
not just on analogue TV, but also on Freeview and Teletext.co.uk. But A+N
is keeping a raft of commercial operations?

?Teletext Holidays on analogue ITV (LSE: ITV), Freeview channel 101 and at
TeletextHolidays.co.uk, ThisIsTravel.co.uk, InLuxury.co.uk and VillaRenters.co.uk.
?Teletext Racing on analogue C4, Freeview and satellite and, soon, web and
mobile.
?Services including dating brands Rabbit TV and One2One on Freeview channels
102-107.
?TeletextCars.co.uk
?TeletextCasino.co.uk
?And SMS football alerts service
?p888 subtitles on analogue TV"
