I have created this blog, titled ESPN UK Blog, to follow the development of the sports broadcaster ESPN and its first foray into the UK market. Having recently picked up Setanta's previous Premier League rights, ESPN has entered the market for the very first time.
This blog will be updated with all the latest information as it is announced, including channel prices, how to get the new channel and when it will launch.
This isn't an official ESPN blog, it's just written by someone who is interested in the new broadcaster and wants to inform others about the latest happenings.
