I've sent the following e-mail to ESPN through their website/contact page...
Please can ESPN make a proper announcement about the programming from 1 August on the "remaining" ESPN channel in the BT package. There are many people like myself, who are US sports fans. I've had NASN/Setanta/ESPN throughout for 10 years, and was extremely disappointed that ESPN America is ending. Will Around The Horn, Pardon The Interruption (not the UK version!), College Football live, NASCAR Now talk shows still be on? How much College Football will there be, and will you be showing College Gameday? When there are clashing US live big games - e.g. in College Football and Baseball in the early hours, when presumably BT will have no live sport, will any of ESPN's US sport be shown on BT, as happened with ESPN America and ESPN UK? If I subscribe to BT it will mainly be for the ESPN channel/US programming more so than the BT content, but there is scant little info available. When will the August ESPN programming schedule be available to view online? Many thanks.
