Well I'm not a sport fan and I never watch the sports channels but even I think the best ever launch so far this last year must have been BT Sports/ESPN. It's a no-brainer really.

However, the launch of Sky Atlantic shortly will change all that!

The Virgin Media juggernaut continues. Soon there won't be any channels left for them to launch!

I still don't know where all these sky atlantic rumours are coming from unless i'm missing something...

Just printed and framed the thread when the news of BT sport was launched. I may need to replace it if that's the case
