Sadly, yes it is, but The Times is a good newspaper (I also read The Guardian, Independent and Evening Standard) and There is not many alternatives to Sky Movies/Sports! (ideally I would have preferred theses movie/sports rights to owned by the BBC)

Hearings for module 2 of the Inquiry (the relationships between the press and police and the extent to which that has operated in the public interest) will begin on Monday February 27.

Should be even more interesting than module 1.
