It wasn't just Telewest. I was/am with VM (former NTL area - not Telewest) and had red button live service for one or two seasons with VM. I was really interested in it in the beginning. Couldn't be bothered with a few seasons in the middle, but have watched the last 3 or 4. Always watch the launch with a view to not watching the series, but get hooked anyway.
I did think it was getting past its sell by date, and was quite happy that they were ending it.
The Channel 5 thing though isn't new news - it was announced halfway through the series that C5 were buying it. Obviously talks have taken longer than planned, but it's not a surprise. Rumours were high that it was going to completely revamp the format.
