History

The channel launched on 1 September 2000 and closed down on 1 January 2018. It featured live scores, highlights, most recent breaking news and commentaries with recorded voiceovers, similar to Euronews. Eurosport News' sportscasts were broadcast around the clock in 15-minute blocks with frequent updates. The service combined video, text and graphics with the screen being divided into 4 sections. A video section that displayed highlights and news bulletins, a breaking news ticker at the bottom and a scoring section that gave in-depth analysis of results and game stats.

The channel was made available on the Beijing Olympic Village as part of a deal inked in June 2008, two months before the start of the 2008 Summer Olympics]. [2]

A Portuguese office opened on 1 October 2010. The channel closed on 1 January 2018, as part of a strategic plan. [3]
