Mmmmm......

So what exactly is the point of ESPN then? Surely they can't be turning a big profit here in the UK? Hopefully they are just bedding themselves in at the moment, getting their name familiar amongst UK TV customers, waiting for their moment to pounce. If this isn't their strategy, surely they're just waisting their own time and money broadcasting in the UK.
You do know ESPN is owned by Disney? They don't have a blank cheque but I imagine aslong as they don't lose massive amounts then Disney will fund
a certain level of loss in the UK. Just like Sky do with SkyNews.

Disney want ESPN to be the biggest sports network in the world.
