Not that surprised. I questioned whether they meant the TV Apps when they announced they were closing down the digital text next year. There was a certain ambiguity to the the wording back then that suggested they might be included.
I had often criticised them, particularly the Sport App front page for its stupid content duplication and the placement of the text articles, but there could have still been a place for them. |

BBC News, Sports and Weather are vanishing from the red button on the V6 at the end of January 2020. I'm guessing that these services are the same as those available via the app. I know that the BBC is launching a new version of the iPlayer next year and I wonder if it will launch around the same time. I understand BBC news, weather, sport and lottery results will still be available on mobile phones, tablets and on-line.

Here is the BBC Blog post about it.

Getting the message on all the TV based apps so this will be all smart TVs as well as TV platform apps on STBs that we are losing. The Beeb don't want to shell out for seperate versions of their apps so these are the obvious ones to go

Re: BBC News app to close
I removed all my BBC apps inc iPlayer, as the BBC News is untrustworthy.

In other news has anyone heard of the o2 deal where you can get amazon prime for several months if you’ve upgraded since 2017 (I think) not open to new users though which is bloody annoying as I already subscribe to amazon |
