ESPN, the sports cable group owned by The Walt Disney Company, is in discussions with BSkyB, the satellite broadcaster, to introduce a 24-hour sports channel in the UK

The companies are negotiating a British launch of ESPN Classic Sport, which replays famous footage from past sporting events, such as boxing.

George Bodenheimer, co-chairman of Disney’s Media Networks division, said earlier this year that ESPN hoped to have a British channel operating within 12 to 18 months.
