Louis Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 It has been killed off due to a cut back to BBC Sport service: http://www.bbc.co.uk...ort_online.html I don't think it was very good anyway but it seems a lot of people will have to do without now. Back in January it was announced that BBC Online's budget would be cut by 25 per cent. At the time we announced that the impact of this budget cut on the BBC Sport website would be the closure of four services within the BBC Sport website - namely the 606 website, the Fun and Games section, the Sports News video bulletin and the Academy section, as well as a turning down of the volume in certain sports where our current levels of coverage could not be sustained. Tomorrow (Tuesday 31 May) the latest implementation of that announcement will happen as the 606 website closes during the morning. The Fun and Games section has already closed, and the other changes will follow soon. The reasons for the closure of 606 were explained in full in January in a blog by the Head of BBC Sport Interactive, Ben Gallop and tomorrow's closure is merely the implementation of that decision which was taken at the start of 2011.

MikeO Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Personally I never listened to it to be honest. I wont miss it at all. It's the online forum they're shutting down, not the 5live programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
