Sports fans in Malaysia can now get daily news updates with a dedicated ESPNEWS channel, available via Astro Channel 818. It begins its live airing on 1st May, 9.00 a.m. Of course this is the Asian version of the sports news network and you can expect the content to be much aligned to Asian sports viewers’ interests.
