Some 18 jobs are at risk following the closure of the UK entertainment site SceneOne.co.uk last week.

Flextech - the content division of cableco Telewest - announced in March that it intended to close the site.

It blamed the closure on the failure of the site to generate sufficient ecommerce revenues to support the business.

A spokeswoman said that it was hoped that jobs would be found for those who worked at SceneOne.

SceneOne was launched back in 1999 and carried entertainment content - including TV and radio listings plus details of films, gigs and theatre - on Internet, TV and mobile platforms.

The shutters came down on the site last Thursday. ®
