Frankly I would be shocked if ESPN America closed, it was here a long while before ESPN launched here on the back of the demise of Setanta. It has a small but dedicated following of American sports fans in the UK. I know they have lost the NHL ,but they have full coverage of all the college sports and most importantly the MLB.
