Hot on the heels of the announcement that Apple had acquired the Beats Music streaming service for $3 billion to help bolster its own struggling competitor, 9to5Mac has learned that Apple is introducing a new ESPN station for iTunes Radio. The station will include original ESPN programs like SportsCenter All Night, SVP and Russillo, The Herd, and Mike & Mike.

This is big news. Even more importantly:

The ESPN station will also stream the World Cup, making it the first live sporting event to be streamed live through iTunes Radio.

Any way to listen to the World Cup via Pandora?
