Some of ESPN can be salvaged

I was shattered when I picked up the South China Morning Post, on April 5 and read on the front page that ESPN will go off the air at the end of the month.

For those people fortunate enough to have Cable Sports Channels 1 and 2, they at least will continue to enjoy quite a reasonable sports coverage. However, although I live in 'luxury' service apartments at the end of the Tsim Sha Tsui peninsula the management is too stingy to provide us with these channels.

May I appeal to Star TV, or either of the terrestrial stations, to take up as many ESPN programmes as they can, and whenever possible, broadcast them using the Nicam dual language service.
