ESPN launched tonight

[Shaggy]

Do ex-Setanta subscribers have to subscribe to this, or have they taken on Setanta's old customer base? Apparently it's launched tonight.

It's free on Virgin if you have the XL package. Otherwise, I think you have to subscribe from scratch.

Is there a list of games they are broadcasting yet?

Thanks - on a total tangent, why do American companies refer to Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) as one region?

We are plainly not in one region.

They have got Liverpool V United

That's a bit of a coup for them.

Only the games in bold are on ESPN.

ESPN barely has a footprint in these areas, so it makes sense to have one business division flying around and expanding the business in these areas. If the footprint was larger, they could have ESPN in every nation. No one here thinks of these areas as one geographic region.

3 games in 3 months for liverpool, is it really worth subscribing?

That's what I thought but saying that I probably will end up subscribing. Has anyone signed up with them yet?

I don't think she knows most it exists.

I find it strange that they've basically bought in exactly the same business model as Setanta... or am I missing something?

Companies based in the UK do that. The (wank) company that I work for does it
