But one view is that it would all look tidier if it was simply BT Sport 1-4.
As for EPG slots on Sky who has 419 (formerly Extreme Sports)?
On the Sky EPG is anything more drastic likely than this?
413 BT Sport 1
414 BT Sport 2
417 BT Sport 3
426 BT Sport//ESPN”
BiB - No sir. It was not part of the terms.
BT licensed the ESPN branding to use on the channel. They're not contractually required to use it if they chose not to.
Personally, id prefer them to adopt the model they have with AMC where its called 'AMC from BT' on the EPG but branded just as 'AMC' onscreen, so becoming 'ESPN from BT' on the EPG and then back to 'ESPN' onscreen
BT SPORT ESPN HD LIVE is massive and ruins alot of what im trying to watch
