Non-internet-using analogue TV owners will no longer have access to flight arrival/departure information, holiday booking adverts, horoscopes, and all the other stuff they've been looking at since 1983.
No word in the article about subtitles (closed captioning). Channels 3 and 4 use Teletext p888 to broadcast them.
Ceefax on the BBC will remain, however.

- kilian 17y agoAs a non-native speaker I often watch BBC series with closed captioning on, (especially nice with series such as Ashes to Ashes, where it also provides information about the music played) so I would really like to know how they will be made available without teletext.
