Plus it might help ESPN in competition with the conference-based college sports nets like Big Ten. Classic used to have a lot of good stuff, but now it seems like it's in a rut. Bring on U!

Deportes is clearly the channel that is the most relevant. Soccer does great numbers on Spanish language networks, and I assume that's what Deportes focus is. It's a smart move by ESPN. jon, i agree News is the most useless. in my market only ESPN and ESPN2 are on basic cable, while News, U, and Classic are all basic digital.

That's the station that seems the most useless to me. Or is ESPNews not in every provider's basic package? Why not swap ESPNU with ESPNews? That’s the station that seems the most useless to me.

There's really nothing wrong with this plan at all - who needs 14 hours of boxing and 7 hours of poker per day?
