Metro, 442 is ESPN classic on mine? 417 is ESPN America? Fromerly NASN. I'm trying to get info as to whether we'll get FNF and their excellent coverage of past fights (in the US, ESPN often dedicate several hours to past FNF and WNF fights).
For the record guys, this isn't a one-off. Usually around 10:10 every night there's a fight or a doc on a great fighter (called RINGSIDE). The 7 part Robinson doc was great. Keep an eye on it.

I doubt there'll be any change to the schedule on ESPN America, I'm sure it was just a name change. Channel 5 show FNF's. Usually at some stupid time like 3 in the morning on a Monday.

They used to show it on Five US at a reasonable time but it doesn't seem to be listed anymore.

It was removed last season. ESPN America is not just a name change, they tried to get Prem rights in the last round of bidding to show in the UK.
