Don't worry Dmac, although you don't have it now, I'm sure it'll be like when Setanta burst onto the scene, it just wasn't freely available until it became worth promoting.

ESPN haven't really concentrated on the UK market to date, I believe they only have 2 channels (ESPN Classics & ESPN America) which really aren't targeted at the main sports fans in the UK. However I have read that they are looking to create a new channel where they are planning to show the Premier League football and other stuff on (similar to Sky Sports).

I can't see Five getting the coverage, they dropped all their American sports earlier this year (concluding with the NBA Finals) and giving us the poor excuse of the recession causing them to do this.
