@ ayanc : ESPNEWS was later renamed as "fox sports news". at the time of "star sports belive" revamp of network star was already applied to MIB for license of same kind of sports news channel under "ESPN NEWS" and also got it but it was never related to international sports news channel named "ESPNEWS" as this was scheduled to be launched as completely different channel from same. ESPN NEWS By "STAR Sports Network" was never seen daylight as network was headed for split and later also there was no plan on card for sports news channels in india. star sports network was at time of revamp in greed to launch regional sports network and they are still on there way for same.
