As a result, Islanders will not be able check flight departures and arrivals, the weather and local news on their televisions after 15 December. They will instead have to turn to other information sources, such as here at www.thisisjersey.com.
On the same day as local pages are taken down, national news and information will also disappear from Teletext. However, people will still be able to access subtitles on page 888.
And a one-off a page will be put up from 17 December until the end of the year with the full results of the Channel Islands Christmas Lottery draw.
The managing director of Channel Television’s broadcast division, Karen Rankine, said that CTV had no choice in the matter as there would no longer be regional Teletext services. ‘We are saddened to be losing the Channel Islands’ Teletext service after so many years,’ she said.
