This evening, ESPN America has started broadcastoing on Freeview channel 34, the slot taken by Setanta Sports until its collapse yesterday.
It seems that ESPN America is being transmitted by Top Up TV, and anyone with a Top Up TV subscription can view ESPN for free though it’s not clear how long for).
Users with an old Setanta Freeview box / card should also be able to get ESPN America.
It’s assumed that this channel will be used to show the Barclays Premier League matches that ESPN has just bought the rights to – they will offer 46 matches from the 2009/2010 footy season.
