ESPN America being remove is due to Sky who do not give new channels numbers out any more - On Sky all the broadcasters need to buy an EPG Channel from the other broadcaster.
And with the Football due to start in August ESPN need to start an ESPN UK Channel up using ESPNA Sky's EPG Channel number.
ESPN America will reappear on Virgin TV in the few months time when ESPN has took over an EPG Channel on Sky.
