No I think from Summer 2013 we may see:
-BT Football TV (Working name) launching on Virgin TV as part of the XL Pack or pay extra channel.
-ESPN will sign an new deal with Virgin Media with ESPN America HD launching but moving to pay-wall (Not on XL Package).

With the way Scottish Football are going if the SPL do not vote to let the new Rangers into the SPL I think Sky Sports will walk away to save money for their half of the £3.2b EPL deal.
Then ESPN may pick up the 30 games per season that Sky has the rights to.
