And where do you get that assumption?.

Lets see if they change it on Monday. I personally think its a bad move for them.

The head of ITV marketing had it as the 14th but maybe they've bumped it forward.

It could for sports fans with the XL package. When BT Sports launches in 6 months time what will happen to ESPN? If rumours and speculation are to be believed, it's goodnight ESPN. Will Virgin be able to replace ESPN with BT Sports in the XL package? Not likely. Let's hope Virgin either reduce the price of XL accordingly or re-invest the ESPN money into other content like some of the missing HD channels.

I'm sure the bloke on DS has it wrong, AJ are just buying the US channel so they can make a US news channel.

Maybe AJ were leading people on all along to get their hands on the channel- I really don't know, but Time Warner Cable have pulled the plug to stop them from broadcasting anything. It's now showing a blue screen with a "This channel is no longer available" caption.

A lot of America regard it as "Terrorist TV", so, as a result, much of Al Jazeera English was censored.

I'm shortly going to contact a friend at Dish TV to let him know, in case he hasn't heard of this secretive and rushed change of ownership. They may want to disconnect them too (assuming that they actually carry Current TV).

America would obviously rather rather watch Faux News for their up-to-the-minute garbage.

Seems Current was only UK & US so I'm sure they'll sell their domain off soon for a pretty penny.

Nice to see that your pessimism still remains despite thy training by thy dark master.;):D

Wouldn't be bothered much if we lost ESPN. Seems to show lower league Scottish football and in the main the poorer Premiership games like Reading v Wigan :( Am still swithering about changing to Sky, if I did I wouldn't subscribe to ESPN.
