If Virgin removed the ESPN content, this would free up money to add new channels. The ESPN channels would then become a subscription service, just like on SKY. If you want ESPN, then it's say £9.00 per month.
Do you believe removing ESPN, ESPN HD and ESPN America from the XL package would be beneficial to Virgin?
P.S. I haven't added ESPN Classic or Classic on demand as these would surely aren't classed as premium whilst the other 3 are.

And what new channels were you thinking of.
I already get 165 channels including ESPN which keeps hubby sweet..what else do you think is missing?
If you are suggesting Sky Atlantic I don't want it.I'd rather there was some sport that I don't have to pay through the nose for..which is why I don't have Sky Sports.
