quote from nickelodeon message boards:
Well, we really don't want to! We were talking to Telewest about a new contract between our companies, but couldn't agree on a deal that was fair to both of us.
If you're a Telewest viewer, ring them up and tell them what you think! Their number is 0845 142 0220.
If your parents would like to talk to another digital TV provider, so that you can keep watching Nick, then they can call Sky on 0870 242 9380, or Homechoice on 0800 092 4444.

In reference to the above....
Telewest had quite short notice in regards to this and reason why letters wasnt dispatched to customers, however Telewest are offering the disney channels free in replacement of these channels while negotiations are underway and if you already have them then the £6 (Cost of disney package) would be covered.
Telewest are in negotiation with nickelodeon but the reasons why it was not renegotiated was because telewest did not feel the prices quoted would bring value satisfaction towards its customers however negotiations are still underway
