• Eurosport 1 and 2 soon to be merged into TNT Sports
• Mixed signals over TNT acquiring rights to Six Nations

Eurosport is to disappear from British screens, with the longtime home of events such as the Tour de France rebranding after 35 years.

On 28 February, Eurosport 1 and 2 will be merged into TNT Sports, as the group owned by Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD) reorganises its offering in the UK. It's a move executives say will both boost and simplify choices for sports fans, but leaves unanswered questions as to what free-to-air offerings will still be available to viewers.
