ESPN America joins Sky family pack

[Analoguesat]

ESPN America (channel 417) has joined the News and Events mix in the Sky six mix. Therefore if you can watch Eurosport 1 & 2 you can now watch ESPN Yankee as well

Good news, hopefully this is indicative of things to come from ESPN.

I wouldnt hold out much hope for the forthcoming Prem channel being in the basic pack.

I wonder who's gonna pick up UFC, I'm hopin' it'll be ESPN HD or SKY Sports HD. But so far I'm happy about ESPN America is secured.

good as i only subscribed to setanta for this channel now i will have 12.99 free each month so i can get the sport channels.

i posted in the news section but it is better in here as more will notice the topic

also on cable the channel is an extra costing 10 per month i have read so bonus for satellite viewers

a bit OT, but I read on some site that ESPN UK would be a separate channel, like some of footie teams' channels in SKY package, so that'd be an extra tenner for prem.

I'm not really bothered if they only show prem on ESPN UK, but if they pick up some other interesting US Sports, I might shell out for that.

Mental note: cancel Setanta direct debit.

From what I can gather £5 a month is a possibility, though I suspect that'd be a tie-in with Sky Sports for that, ie if you subscribe to Sky, you can get ESPN at a lower rate.
