ESPN finally takes on Sky

:good

 

I pay Setanta on a dd, does that mean I will have to inform the bank, or will the dd automatically stop.:think

 

I've sent ESPN an e-mail as well. It might not help but it won't do any harm.

 

I just got the following reply from ESPN (premierleague@espn.com), it is obviously an automated reply, I think, we need to get a different email address for ESPN to highlight our case for more living boxing and Buncey's Boxing Hour.....

"Thank you for your interest in ESPN's coverage of the Premier League from next Season.

We're delighted to have been awarded these rights and we look forward to working with the Premier League, football clubs and distributors to bring you high-quality coverage of your favourite teams.

We will be back in contact shortly with further details about how to subscribe for this service.

So are ESPN setting up a proper channel over here so?

 

I've cancelled mine just to be on the safe side. :smoke

 

Im hoping they will broadcast there back catalogue of espn classic matches, when I was in the states recentley they broadcast all three holyfield v bowe fights plus both castillio v corrales fights, would be nice to see some new classic fights other than the ones repeated over and over agian on the espn classic channel.

 

ESPN are definitely looking for other sports rights. Good news.

 

This is why it's my preference to petition them out of all of the networks. They are sure to be more receptive to ideas for programming at the moment.:good

 

Agreed. ESPN are the ones who really need to add attractive content to go alongside the EPL.

In related news, ESPN America has just been added to the Sky 'News & Events' pack, so lots more viewers will get that for 'free' now. This is probably among other reasons to cross sell the premium channel which we hope will take Bunce and Andy.

It seems ESPN have bought ESPN.co.uk, nothing on there yet but there undoubtedly will be soon. Once there is lets look at any and all ways of getting the message across re bringbackbunce and so on. I'll keep and eye on it.
