BBC Sport Channel on the way?

Well, the Evening Standard yesterday reported that the BBC plans to launch an Free-To-Air sports channel, sometime after 2006. Quoting BBC Controller of Sport Peter Salmon, they speculate that the channel would be used to promote minority sports.

By lunchtime yesterday, the BBC was already denying that any such plans had been made, and stated that Peter Salmon's quotes had been "taken out of context", that favourite phrases of all those making denials.

How strange then that today, Digital Spy should report the story from yesterday's Evening Standard, as though it was fresh news. Oh well...
