Found this on a golf Forum!! Hi I can confirm that The Golf Channel UK will cease broadcasting today. After 4 very happy years we had to take the commercial decision based upon a number of factors. 1) Cost of “good” quality programming. Yes we could have got cheaper programming but not without denigrating the viewer experience 2) Lack of availability of good programming and rights. 3) The commercial revenues that were projected over the coming years. I’d like to thank all those viewers who have supported the channel since 2003 I believe we created a great channel with programmes that golfers wanted to watch. We also managed to cater for a wide range of golf tastes so if a particular show wasn’t for you another certainly would be just right. The Shopping channel continues as does the US version of the Golf Channel. Best Wishes & we’d all like to wish you a happy New Year for 2008!
