The US broadcaster ESPN has announced plans to launch a new UK sports channel, called ESPN, on 3 August.
The channel will show 46 live Barclays Premier League football games, which were to have been shown by Setanta until its recent financial problems.
The channel will also show some of the US sports to which ESPN owns rights.
ESPN has reached an initial deal to have the channel shown on Sky, but it is in talks with all UK pay-TV platforms about carrying the service.
Sky will also be responsible for selling advertising on the new channel.
ESPN owns the rights to broadcast 46 live Premier League games in the 2009/10 season and 23 matches for each of the following three seasons.
Sky's residential customers will have to pay a premium of £9 a month for the new channel if they already pay for Sky Sports or £12 a month if they do not.

So far ESPN UK is still only confirmed for Football, no one is buying it for that plus some US Sports we don't watch.
They need to get their finger our their arses.
