Correct, but only 2 games a week. The Wednesday and Friday night ESPN games. Bulls@Celtics tonight.

Do you think that'll increase later on?

It didn't last season. They also have play off coverage, but I am pretty certain that that was also only 2 games a week until the finals where every game was covered.

If you get the full ESPN coverage on Sky then you will also get ESPN America that shows sportscenter daily with brief highlights of each nights games as well as NBA Tonight about 3 times a week.

ESPN America will also have wall to wall coverage of college hoops all the way until March Madness and the championship game.

If you like US sports in general, then ESPN is a bargain at a tenner a month.

Got ESPN. Didn't have it last year though so wasn't sure. NBA tonight is quite good. We(knicks) are looking better, but giving up a shat load of points.

Sport Centre is where I catch up on most to be honest. Couldn't live without it!

He gave a facial to us about 4 times. Scarily good player. I can't see him staying there for long.

The Knicks are rolling now. 6 out of 7. Rumours the raptors may move.

Think you're confusing moving to being bought out. Strong rumours are that Rogers are trying to buy the controlling stake in MLSE, which would mean they would own every single sports francshise in Toronto except the Argos (although they do play at the Rogers Centre). They already own the Jays. If it happens I can see Rogers making sure that their teams games only get shown on their sports channels. As it is, they have exclusive rights to Blue Jays games.It's basically a power play by a huge money making machine so that they can make even more money. The last thing they want to do is move any of these teams out of Toronto.
