In 2021 we launched GCN+. This was a brand new service that would showcase our premium cycling footage, a weekly schedule, and all the live racing we've been streaming since 2020 on RacePass. But it is with great sadness that we announce today the closure of GCN+ and the GCN app effective December 19, 2023 – GCN
This decision was made by our parent company Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and is based on its global strategy to consolidate its streaming services and offer content on a smaller number of channels, making it easier for customers access and discover new content.
In Europe, GCN+ subscribers will now have the option to subscribe to access Discovery+, Eurosport or Eurosport Extra, where they can continue to watch live cycling. In markets outside of Europe, WBD is reviewing how content is delivered to its fans. Season ticket holders will, of course, be granted a pro-rata refund from December 19th onwards – GCN
Does GCN Italia's YouTube activity continue?
As for video content, the GCN Youtube channel continues thanks to its over 3 million subscribers: “We still love bikes, bike racing, riding bikes, creating content about bikes, helping people ride and understand bikes, and generally just sharing our passion for the sport. So GCN, as you know, will only get better. We will continue to create the best cycling content possible for the GCN community that has supported us so much over the past decade. We will also continue with the growth of the GCN website, which is going from strength to strength”, they underline in the press release.
