TV rights for TdF.

[gavroche]

ITV has lost the right to broadcast the TdF as from July 2026 and so has Euro Sport and all other franchises as an American company has bought them all to cover all sports and will be charging £31 a month for the privilege.
They won't be getting a penny from me.
Greedy sods.

Not quite right: the American company bought Eurosport some time ago, then got the rights instead of ITV, and now is closing Eurosport because they want people to subscribe to their other more expensive sport channels instead.
