and i quote the whole article on page 127:

There is now such a lack of interest in Bravo's coverage of Italian football that the channel, who recently scrapped their weekly magazine programme on Serie A, are also terminating their live coverage after Christmas. Poor viewing figures and high production costs are given as the reason.

A rather long article in the Gazzetta Sportiva (Sunday's Gazzetta dello Sport) yesterday on the same point, so, yes, it is true.

rSomething in the Mail is true!
