Oh well, looks like BSB (and WSBK) will be going behind a paywall this season
TNT have just announced that Eurosports will be ending at the end of February, and all sports transfered over to TNT Sports, for the princely sum of £31 a month (though if you have a Sky subscription, you get it at the massively discounted £30 a month  )
https://www.britishsuperbike.com/news/2025/jan/28/tnt-sports-to-be-the-home-of-bennetts-british-superbikes-alongside-motogp-and-worldsbk
And judging by the reaction on the 'Bennenets Britsh Superbike' Facebook page, i am not alone in my unwillingness to pay additional fee just to watch 2 wheeled motorsport
As most have pointed out, there seems to be a vast majority of fans who are simply not interested in all the other sports (Foosball, Rugby, Cricket, Tennis etc) to warrant spending this sort of amount, just for motorcycle racing (im assuming MotoGP will still have highlights on ITV4)
Looks like this will be the start of the slow demise of BSB

IPTV 
I don't have it.
TNT is reasonably priced If you like the football and the other sports they show.
BSB there is a welcome bonus for me as I already have TNT, primarily for MotoGP and the Football.
Videopass is expensive for the MotoGP alone. |

Unfortunatly, i (like many others going off FB comments) am not in the slightest bit interested in any of the other sports TNT shows (other than other 2 wheeled motorsports)
I do have several torrent sites bookmarked that i have used in the past for the odd MotoGP race, but having Sky (and by extension Discovery+) i was able to either record or stream the races at will, with any sort of illegal streaming, you can only watch them live
I'm considering WSBK subsription at £70 for the year, though i much prefer BSB, it's better than nothing
It has also not been made clear if there will be any sort of highlights show, like MotoGP has on ITV4, but again, that would mean waiting 2 days of trying to avoid any of the results until i would be able to watch it

If you take to the high seas then you too can be a pirate and stream it for free.
