Next stop in ESPN’s European odyssey – new mobile versions of two of its sites. Rugby site ESPNScrum.com and motorsports site ESPNF1.com get the mobile web treatment.<\/p>\n

The latter is the rebranding we anticipated<\/a> following ESPN’s acquisition<\/a> of Racing-Live.com in August 2008. One by one, ESPN (NYSE: DIS<\/a>) has renamed sites it’s bought with its “ESPN” prefix… ESPNSoccernet.com, ESPNScrum.com, ESPNCricinfo.com, so it’s no surprise that the Racing-Live.com brand, which was started in 1995, has been killed off.\n<\/p>\n

It comes a week after ESPN launched the the UK-facing content portal, ESPN.co.uk, we first revealed<\/a> in September it would create to go along with its new UK soccer and other TV rights.<\/p>\n

ESPN holds no online broadcast rights in Britain, but, after several months using its .co.uk merely as a shop window for its pay-TV products, it’s begun publishing textual news stories of its own, some wire copy, plus scores and fixtures from its existing content.\n<\/p>\n
