I think it was about £3m per year.
I think the deal was £2.50 per viewer every month.
Also:
1. NASN/ESPN was not FREE for XL viewers - they had to pay extra for it.
2. Non XL got ESPN free if they order the Setanta Sports Pack.
So Virgin are just moving everyone into the ESPN XL Viewers deal until they can do an deal with ESPN then...
