For a while now, it has been unclear as to what will happen to ESPN America, and it had been presumed that it would become the new ESPN channel with all American sport moving to the new channel. It has now been confirmed that ESPN America will remain, and will only be switching channel numbers. The following has been added to the ESPN America website:
"While ESPN America will continue to broadcast to customers on the Sky platform, ESPN America will be changing channel numbers. From 3rd August, ESPN America will move from Channel 417 to Channel 430.
ESPN America will also be moving out of the ‘News and Events’ pack and Sky customers will be able to subscribe to ESPN America as follows:
-Sky Sports subscribers can upgrade to receive ESPN America and also receive ESPN & ESPN HD for £9 per month
-Sky Customers can upgrade to receive ESPN America and also receive ESPN & ESPN HD for £12 per month"
"While ESPN will continue to broadcast to customers on the Virgin Media platform, ESPN America will be changing channel numbers. From 3rd August, ESPN America will move from Channel 533 to Channel 531.
Virgin Media subscribers will be able to get ESPN America as follows:

While ESPN will continue to broadcast to customers on the Virgin Media platform, ESPN America will be changing channel numbers. From 3rd August, ESPN America will move from Channel 533 to Channel 531."
I know many American sports fans will be pleased to hear this.
