ESPN America gets an update

It would appear that ESPN have listened to viewers and improved ESPN America. It is now broadcasting in 16:9, Bottom Line has been removed and a new DOG has been added. For some time now, UK fans of American sport have been calling for ESPN America to improve, and they've finally listened and sorted it out.

Good job ESPN.
