BGL-owned price comparison site Comparethemarket is in talks with the cinema industry to replace EE’s decade-long Orange Wednesdays free ticket deal.

EE will end Orange Wednesdays in February, paving the way for a replacement.

Cinema First boardmember Mark Batey told City AM that talks were underway with several parties and he hoped the Wednesday deal would continue with a different sponsor.

Orange Wednesdays began in 2004, but peaked in customer uptake in 2010 as viewers shifted to smartphones, on-demand programmes and streaming services such as Netflix.

 

 

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
