Did you know that Discovery Communications and TF1 Group own Eurosport.

And John C. Malone is on the Board of Directors of Discovery Communications. He is also chairman of Liberty Global, Inc. who own Virgin Media.

There is still time for VM to get a deal done!!!!!. BT Sport1 & 2 doesn't launch until 6pm.

Don't forget that Extreme Sports is part of the Chello Zone group. Who needs the Premier League when we have Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie? :D

Midnight is an odd time to take it off air, the TV broadcasting day doesn't end until 6am.

Is there anything on it? ie can interactive streams be accessed?

Looks like ESPN America has been granted an extra day (as per the EPG).

Just before I came to bed it had programming scheduled, whilst ESPN Classic had the channel no longer available message instead.

anyone fancy a hilarious ruse tomorrow in which we select one user, the entire rest of the thread give it 'what do you mean you can't see BTSports on your VM box, the rest of us can see it fine?', and see how long we can keep it up before we get sussed or the mods wheel out the ban hammer?

Seriously this is MBs thread, it amazes me that he hasn't been driven to insanity.. He does his most to keep us informed and all the while he's being constantly derailed by handbag swinging drama queens, and attention seeking numptys. Give it a rest ffs.

On Sky ESPN America was due to have closed at 6am, but at midnight it was taken off air (as was ESPN Classic).

ESPN and ESPN HD have now become Free To View.

What is the status of the ESPN channels on VM?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

No.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

+1

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

So nothing yet then? Admittedly I did think it was a long shot for something to happen overnight. The channel starts at 6 but I'm not holding my breath, I think we could be waiting at least a couple of weeks yet.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

So nothing launched then? Bummer. I was hoping for Drama at the very least this morning. Oh well.

There are thousands and thousands of LFC fans now in mourning after ESPN classic closes down

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 3.
 

To be honest, I never watched America or Classic so not fussed about losing them but I did enjoy watching Aussie rules football on ESPN so gutted that's gone now. Will BT Sport be showing it, if so I will be more interested in it launching on Virgin.
