Teletext to stop in 2010

[Kodiak]

According to this article Teletext News will be withdrawn next year. Although like most people, I have teletext on my TV I can not remember the last time I used it.

Usually if I want any information I use the internet so I will not miss it, will any Orgers out there miss Teletext if it is withdrawn?

..............will any Orgers out there miss Teletext if it is withdrawn?

Me!
I usually check out the news on 101, 160 and 331 at least once a day.
I would use the teletext quicker for news than I would the internet which is strange as I am on the computer most days and very rarely check it out here.
Mind you I also check out the news on caithness.org!
