It's an impressive list:
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Aviva Premiership Rugby
French Rugby Top 14
NFL Monday Night Football
American Basketball (NBA)
American Baseball (MLB)
German Touring Car Masters
Formula Super League
FIA GT1
NHRA Drag Racing
NCAA Basketball
NCAA Football
British Darts Organisation
PGA Championship Golf
Sri Lanka Premier League Cricket
ATP World Tour Tennis
WTA International Tennis
Australian Football League (AFL)
Friday Fight Night Boxing
Plus there is more that's not included in this list.
With the London Olympics being a roaring success so far in terms of viewing figures for the BBC, and medal wins for team GB, I wonder if this will have a positive impact for sports channels like ESPN. With people really buying into sport, and sporting achievement, a channel like ESPN with it's diverse coverage might see growth in its subscription figures over the next couple of months. I'm sure if ESPN can snap up coverage of athletic events in the coming months they would be onto a winner.
