Does anyone know what the viewing figures for ESPN America are on Virgin? Could it be the channel doesn't attract enough viewing figures to justify Virgin shelling out more to land the HD variant?

For the sake of our American sports fans I hope it does come soon however I'm really beginning to doubt it. Let's wait and see if ESPN 2 and ESPN News launches in the next 8 to 10 weeks. If these channels launch then a new carriage deal will be needed, which might signal the arrival to ESPN America HD.
