I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news.

Link to the official site with TV listings for Fox Sports (formerly ESPN), Star Sports and Fox Sports HD Plus (formerly ESPN HD):

http://tv.foxsportsasia.com/

Looks like the content is the same (so far), and it's just a rebranding.
We deserve better.

I can't really tell since I never subscribed to ESPN HD. but there were times when there was no F1 coverage on Star Sports and the F1 coverage was on ESPN instead.

ESPN Asia ceased to be ESPN over a decade ago.

I hope the real ESPN does show up in the future.

Anyone knows why they change the name?

It's because Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. bought out ESPN's 50% stake in ESPN-Star Sports.

Will Fox Sports carry NFL games next season?  Just wondering since they aired the Super Bowl live last Monday.
