jesusquintana kirjutas:ViasatSport 1, 2 ja 3 kaovad ära, asemele tulevad Viasat Sport, Viasat Jalgpall ja Viasat Mootor kõik see siis 17 oktoobril juba, nii teatas Skandinaavia Viasati pool vähemalt.
Vaadates pressiteates olevat kanalite sisu siis tundub ,et meil kaob veel üks spordikanal ära kuna pole õigusi meie territooriumile teatud spordialadel. Kui muidugi Vias*ta jobud pole lõpuks tööle hakanud.
