ESPN America is to continue to broadcast.

The channel had been going to be folded into the new ESPN channel which launches on Monday. However, a statement on ESPN America's website confirms that the channel will continue to broadcast alongside the new ESPN service.

The statement says:

"We are pleased to announce that ESPN America will continue to broadcast in the UK. Therefore, you can continue to watch and enjoy the unrivalled live coverage and sports action from North America 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on ESPN America.

ESPN America will be available in the UK via both Sky and Virgin Media along with our other sports channels – ESPN (from 3rd August) and ESPN Classic."

On Sky, ESPN America will become as part of the ESPN subscription package. On Virgin Media, the cable company's XL customers will receive the channel at no extra cost alongside ESPN, ESPN HD and ESPN Classic. VM's X and L customers will get the channel as part of the ESPN subscription package.
