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.
