Added to Entertainment Extra and XL would be a great outcome for American sports fans.
This whole chopping and changing of sports rights, and channels popping up and closing ever 3 or 4 years is a right pain in the behind.
My parents left SKY to join Virgin about 6 years ago purely so my Dad could get Setanta Sports free in the XL package. My Dad keeps asking me about BT Sports, will it be free, will he have to pay more etc...
I currently pay £10.00 per month for ESPN via SKY. If when BT Sports launches it costs about the same as ESPN currently does then I've got no problem. If it goes into the XL package with Virgin then my Dad has no problem. I can't help but feel however anyone who currently subscribers to ESPN with a provider outwith BT will end up paying more than they do now come the summer months if they take up BT Sports.
