UPC Nederland is to move the US sports channel ESPN America to a premium tier, making the channel only available to subscribers of Chellomedia’s Sport1.
Until now, ESPN America was available to all subscribers to the extended digital tier (UPC Royaal). However, the channel has now been moved to accompany the Sport1 multiplex, consisting of Sport1, Sport1.2, Sport1 Extra and Sport1 HD.
A Sport1 subscription costs €9.95 a month, and there will be no additional charge for ESPN America.
