MUMBAI: US sports broadcaster ESPN will shut down its three year old 3D channel by the end of this year.

There is a lack of viewer interest in watching 3D content at home. ESPN 3D‘s audience ratings were below Nielsen‘s measurable threshold.

ESPN spokesperson Katina Arnold said in a tweet, "ESPN 3D was great at home but due to low adoption of 3D to home, we are discontinuing to focus on other products for fans and affiliates."
