I wonder if it's because adding TCM2 to VM didn't produce the expected additional viewers.

All these rumours of big channels launching on 1st August makes it a very convenient time end this deal doesn't it?!
31 July and 1 August are significant dates.

As far as I know the TiVo EPG is still showing a full ESPN schedule up to August 7th

If this is the case we'll have no announcement till a week Thursday
It is important that the embargo is adhered to, as otherwise it could be viewed as a breach of contract by BT (this includes any "leaks".) Otherwise, this could mean that any plans to offer the service in August are aborted.
