I'm sure you're right, it would be sensible to keep the feed going whilst negotiations are still taking place to resume transmission

Edit: Just had a thought, if VM take their ESPN feed from satellite, then what you spotted is a good sign.

AFAIK when ESPN officially changed hands, the satellite feed changed.

This would mean that VM have reconfigured their satellite receiving equipment to receive the "new" ESPN.
