sure ESPN get DTM but its only due to the fact it is a left over off the Setanta deal. i think its pretty poor that ESPN have big presence in US and they cant even get the bigger Motor racing series from the US on air here in UK.
there is too much focus on football on ESPN that is not relevent here in the UK and there is fans of sports that they are already showing in the US but dont show here in the UK.
you say whch out Sky Sports - ESPN are coming !!
i say Sky Sports have nothing to worry about as all the stuff shown on ESPN is very minority orientated apart from the football and SKY have a wide range of sports that i will watch.
even eurosport has WTCC, SKB, Moto GP, F3 series that are all coming in HD soon.

I am afraid the words are true regarding espn coming for sky sports have you seen the size of espn they make sky look like amateurs money wise plus they also have much deeper pockets.
