Would have to be an error as they don't have ESPN Classics on VM...

Well assuming that to all be correct (although it has to be said that the Associated Press have actually released some contradictory statements) clearly they will charge for it and it won't be free otherwise they are reducing their income and VM aren't renowned for that. So talk of free to XL subscribers I think is just wishful thinking (would love it to be true but just don't see it happening).

Your OFCOM comment is far more convincing than the AP release.

Seems safe to say existing subscribers will just continue to pay the tenner and receive ESPN and anyone else who wants it will have to pay extra compared to their current subscription fees.
