It always seemed very much in a “second tier” of sports channels, not the big names like Sky Sports or even BT Sport that probably come to mind if you ask people what sports channels are available. I gather that’s not so much the case in the rest of Europe.
It varies, but many of the sports covered by Eurosport are less niche in other countries than they are here in the UK. Wintersports being huge in the Nordics and Alpine regions for example.
Many countries also have their own well established free-to-air sports channels, (best examples I can think of straight away are tdp in Spain and TVP Sport in Poland) so Eurosport isn't thought of as the lowest tier sports channel in those markets.
