Telstra to close Sportsfan at the end of the month

Telstra has shuttered its sport editorial platform Sportsfan, with the website, mobile site and app to cease operations on October 31.

The closure was announced in a post on the website: “Telstra has a long history of quality digital sports coverage and Sportsfan has proudly carried that tradition across all sports our Australian audience love. Unfortunately, the decision has been made to discontinue the Sportsfan brand.

“The editorial staff at Sportsfan have endeavoured to bring you sports coverage with an entertaining and thought-provoking edge. Through our articles and videos we hope we have added to your enjoyment of your favourite sports over the years.”
