Yes it will be bad news but some things are a changing in the TV landscape.

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

Maybe BT will take over America & Classic. The content would fill overnights and any other gaps in their schedule(s).

Lower bills !!!

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

Well l would rather have the same bill but with more bang for my buck.

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

If nothing else it shows that Virgin expect to get the channel and are open to the idea of it being a direct swap for ESPN. I must admit that I really like ESPN's football coverage, and I like mlb, so I'll be disappointed if Bt's channel signals a complete withdrawal from the UK. I'll be equally disappointed if the value of the xl pack is significantly diluted. I don't expect to continue to get free Premier League after Bt spent so much to acquire it. Free Premier League football on Virgin has been as a result of Setanta not making enough from it and ESPN picking up the pieces for pennies so its clearly unsustainable, but that doesn't mean we have to lose all top class sports coverage, and I for one expect Virgin to continue to offer a viable alternative to having to subscribe to premium channels.

Sorry, just reread alwaysabear's post - who was the questionnaire from?

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

From ESPN Fan Forum.

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

Understood, sorry I thought it was from Virgin.

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

agree Den as we all know prices never go down

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

I can't see ESPN America going anywhere, even if they close ESPN UK. It's too big a channel across Europe, Scandinavia and the Middle East. As we get the same version that Scandinavia gets I'd think it would stay around.

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

Id merge the large package with the xl

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

How would you see that working? Would xl subs go down or l subs go up, or would they meet in the middle.

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

They'll probably invest it in a cooking channel....:D

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

Hopefully meet in the middle, imo espn isnt a patch on what setanta used to be

Re: What Virgin should do if ESPN pull out of the UK
 

Tell me you're having a laugh! Ok you're entitled to your opinion, but imo Setanta was an absolute joke of a channel run by a bunch of amatuers....:td:
