No immediate change to the U.K. operation but looks like they are looking for a buyer or partner. Edit: explicitly said in this presentation that they are leaving UK, so looks like a big “For Sale” sigh has just been hung up.

Away from sport, I'm still absolutely amazed by the 'Nordic Noir' strategy they pursued here. Honestly I think the non-sport subscription they offered might have had users in the low thousands, if that. It's surely a tiny market that's already well served by Walter Presents for free. Presumably their big (relatively speaking) announcement of doing a reboot of Rebus in the UK will now be shelved, though I suppose they might keep it for their other international services.
