Carriage has been agreed with BT Vision, so I presume TUTV will follow shortly, unless BTV are intending to use an IPTV channel for the service.

I think its actually Alison Douglas who has been appointed as SPL presenter, rather than Lindsey Archibald. Douglas is also ex-Rangers TV, and was a former presenter of children's TV in Scotland.
Archibald is also from Rangers TV, and has previously worked for Border's Lookaround AFAIK.
Lindsey Archibald Confirmed as Presenter to front SPL Action for Sky Sports/ESPN
The former Childrens Presenter has been doing Ibrox Uncovered for Rangers TV for the past view months.
She is to team up with Craig Burley
Here's Her In Action lol

TUTV on DTT are now selling the service, there's no announcement from ESPN yet to confirm, despite several reports yesterday I am unable to find official confirmation of a similar resale agreement with BT Vision.

XL: Sky Sports Collection @ £19 plus £21.50 for XL = £40.50
L: Sky Sports Collection @ £24 plus £10 for L plus £8 for ESPN = £42
L: L @ £10 + ESPN @ £10 = £20
XL: inc ESPN £21.50
Weirdly it would seem it is cheaper to get XL plus Sky Sports for all your football needs, but for those on L, just adding ESPN is cheaper. We're talking marginally cheaper here, by all of £1.50!
Presumably it wouldn't cost much more than £8 (or £10) to upgrade from M or L to XL anyway, so you might as well have the lot rather than just pay it all for ESPN?

According to the ESPN America website ESPN America will continue to broadcast in the UK... the website says...

I was under the impression that ESPN America was going to rebrand as just ESPN.
Have ESPN made a request to OFCOM for a new licence??

That explains why some of the football I was expecting next weekend (Bundesliga, MLS and the Spurs v Olympiakos friendly) hasn't appeared on the ESPN America EPG - that channel will continue, and ESPN will be a seperate channel.
ESPN Classic is also changing channel number on Sky.

... and the website has been tweaked ready for things to be added, several options have disappeared so it wouldn't surprise me to see some additional rights announced as the channel launches tomorrow.
