GCN arent shutting I dont think. Just GCN + the racing side of things.
This is no great surprise. They've been flushing money down the loo since they started GCN+. It was a mad proposition.
Ive mentioned before we should not take racing coverage for granted.
I think ad-free access will now only be via Discovery plus. Not sure about eurosport website0 -
Also I suspect the Documentaries will disappear. Certainly cease to be made. Even if the ***** did do them on the cheap.0

Soon I think there will just be a TNT app. The important question will be whether it will still be possible to get Eurosport without the rest.stage_hunter said:GCN arent shutting I dont think. Just GCN + the racing side of things.

Seems like a lot of bike related media industry is going down the chute. MBUK owned by OurMedia made a whole load of redundancies earlier this year and replaced older, experienced staff with more junior, less paid roles and expected them to get on with it.
Seems like a sign of the times as maybe less and less advertising revenue is coming in for this field?Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

First the Eurosport Player, then GCN+, and the GCN app......
To be honest, it never made much sense having all these separate 'channels' covering basically the same thing. I subscribed to Eurosport as I also watch the WEC, snooker, ski-ing...the only thing I missed out on were the GCN documentaries.

Looks like Discovery +_ at £6.99/mth will still be OK for a while. I think Ive paid annually for it in the past at £39.99.TheBigBean said:

I'm fucking livid.2

Which is exactly what's happened. Warner / Discovery are bringing everything in house now, and then TNT and Eurosport will eventually merge into one entity in a few years.andyrac said:First the Eurosport Player, then GCN+, and the GCN app......

I've only ever had Eurosport and I've had everything. The app isn't brilliant, stuff is badly labelled, but you can get the same content (other than the docs), language choices and ad free on itWarning No formatter is installed for the format1

Bit gutted at this, where can we watch ad free now?1

I get Discovery Plus via my Sky sub, which I assume is the same as the Eurosport schedule as far as the cycling stage goes?Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0

discovery +. Though not sure how those outside of Europe will be affected.roscoe said:Bit gutted at this, where can we watch ad free now?
In terms of racing coverage the only difference we will see is Dan Lloyd not wearing a GCN jumper. And the price. Having both services was never likely to be sustainable long term.1 -
In the uk, to the best of my knowledge, the eurosport app no longer exists.

I've just checked on my phone, and it's there - currently showing Koppenbergcross on E1, FIM World SuperCross on E2.daniel_b said:In the uk, to the best of my knowledge, the eurosport app no longer exists.

You may be thinking of the Eurosport Player app which was discontinued earlier this year.All Road/ Gravel: tbcWinter: tbcMTB: tbcRoad: tbc"Look at the time...." "he's fallen like an old lady on a cruise ship..."1 -

ES is available to new customers but expensive at £6.99/month. 😱The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0 -
Agreed 2 threads in unnecessary for the same content. I look forward to an email confirming one of them is shutting down.pblakeney said:

And yes Andy, I am thinking about the ES player, but when I look on Play and search for Eurosport, all I get is Eurosport: Live News and scores.
If there is a web system with no app, that doesn't have appeal for me, as I like to cast from my phone to the tv.
Looks like it is locked in to £84 a year too sadly, so double negative for me.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

So march to September, 7 months of Discovery plus for a smidge under £50.
Sorry cyclocross you didn't make the cut.0 -

the £6.99/mth will get you access to the Eurosport streams on the discovery plus app That is the route i will be taking.

That's interesting, and it also seems there is a chrome extension that enables you to cast from a laptop to a tv.stage_hunter said:

Not as convenient as the current setup, or the previous ES Player setup, but there we go.
As per someone else's comments, thinking that a monthly sub through the key months would likely be all that is needed, and then the cost will remain very similar.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)
