Why and how is Sky News free on NTL analogue?

SKY news is free int he basic pack via NTL. How? Thats cos NTL signed this deal with SKY as they are concerned that they are losing viewers to the likes of news 24.

So now there are FOUR news channels in the basic package.

BBC News 24
ITN News Channel
NTL Info Channel
Sky News

That's variety for you! Can't they put Granada Plus on?

Yes, but not on NTL, and in particular analogue.

I didn't think Sky did analogue now!

It definately wasn't! Unless it was for the sample channel one month.

Since when is the info channel a news channel? Its a channel with Sally Meen telling you how to use your box (or it was- it was replaced at noon today by Channel NTL).

No,I'm 100% sure we in a Cable And Wireless area got it free. We even got CNN until Febuary 1999 when we ordered a pack.
