The way it being reported I think:
-ESPN will be close or be rebranded as BT Sports 3.
-BT will own ESPN America (UK).
-ESPN Classic will close.

The ESPN deal is expected to be completed at the end of July. After that BT said it would continue to operate at least one ESPN-branded channel as part of its new sports package.
ESPN channels will broadcast from BT Sport's new facilities at the Olympic Park in Stratford.
The deal will also see BT continue to show the US sports currently shown on ESPN America, which includes college basketball, college football and Nascar racing.
The deal does not include ESPN Classic, which will be wound down.
