Get a Free Dose of ESPN

If you’re into your sport, you might be interested to know that you can get a weekend of free sporting action next month.

Between the 3rd and the 6th of February 2012, the subscription channel ESPN will be free on Freeview, BT Vision, Sky and Top Up TV. If you’re with Sky, you’ll also be able to watch ESPN and ESPN America in HD for free.

The promotion is to lure in viewers who’ve not opted to sign up for ESPN on one of the main services, and if any of the sporting action on the agenda tickles your sporting tastebuds, then this is a nice little freebie. Here’s a quick look at what should be available over the weekend:
