Yeah they showed Man U-Burnley and now the replay of Hull-Tottenham.

Haha if you think about it its kind of funny, a British station that only plays in America.

Thats crazy?? Do they use there own pundits over there?? Maybe they bought the rights to the name? I dont know but for sure no one who was working for Setanta in England is now, most of the Sports team have moved to Sky Sports or another Tv channel ITV.

I don't know, two English sounding guys but I don't recognize them.

Funny I didn't use to have it, I know that. I mean it was there but if I flipped it to it then it would say this is not part of your tv package or something.

oh ok there's always been a Setanta US and its been a bit different

"With Setanta UK on the verge of going into administration after losing the TV rights to the Premier League through 2013 in the UK as well as losing the TV rights to the Scottish Premier League, the demise of Setanta UK looks certain. It may be days or hours before the plug is pulled.

The big question is what will happen to Setanta US?


While Setanta UK is floundering, Setanta US is a lean organization with very little overhead, a small staff, no studios or highly-paid presenters and, most importantly, are profitable and retain a large percentage of the rights to the Premier League on US TV for the 2009-2010 season which they had sub-licensed from Fox Soccer Channel. Setanta US also owns the broadband rights to the Champions League for the next three years, as well as many World Cup qualifiers, Carling Cup, Coca-Cola Championship, Russian Premier League, MUTV, Chelsea TV and shares the rights to the FA Cup with Fox Soccer Channel.


If and when Setanta UK goes into administration, Setanta US will continue to broadcast. The only difference will be that any programming that comes out of the UK studios will no longer be available. That includes shows such as Football Matters, the Friday Football Show and presumably Setanta Sports News (which is produced by ITN). As long as Setanta Ireland continues, then Setanta US will continue to show a lot of its popular shows such as Special 1 TV and its pre-game and post-game analysis featuring Paul Dempsey and Pat Dolan. Setanta US often picks up the Setanta Ireland feed for Premier League matches, but even if Setanta Ireland was sold or went out of business, Setanta US would pick up the TWI/IMG international feed for Premier League games instead."


they do show a lot of soccer/football. Just today Man U-Burnley, Hull-Tottenham, Athletico Madrid-Panathanaikos and Lyon-Anderlecht.
