I cannot see that. ESPN has been a bonus for XL as they wanted a deal that maximised the numbers watching to try and increase advertising.

It is not VM's fault BT Sports want to milk the sports tv watchers for a hefty subscription. I am not expecting an decrease as I don't see why we should get one. Lots more channels are being added and if XL is not to people's tastes without ESPN (which is, of course a very valid view) then they can downgrade to another package.
