Quitting Setanta

[thoward]

James Richardson will be gutted, poor bloke

He'll have no problem getting work elsewhere. He already has The Guardian and i'm sure he'll be eminently employable elsewhere.

[Lance Uppercut]

Sky better sign up Charlotte Jackson.

 

[Boothy]

Setanta Ireland still works aswell

 

[Anderson Searl]

Setanta works here in Canada.

Question though, for everyone who dips into this thread that knows: Does this effect Canadian viewership of the Prem? Or does ESPN's newfound rights mean we'll get matches on TSN then?

 

[Boothy]

No AS, Im sure I read it doesnt affect anybody other than Great Britain

Confirmed though?

I'd rather not pay for July & August before finding out the EPL isn't even being shown.

It has been announced today by the Board of Setanta Sport Holdings Limited that it has not proved possible to secure the additional financing required to ensure the future viability of certain Setanta businesses in Great Britain. As a consequence, the Board has taken the decision to seek the appointment of Receivers to the parent company, Setanta Sport Holdings Limited, and certain subsidiaries in Ireland, and Administrators to certain English subsidiaries.

Setanta International is not covered by these appointments.
Setanta’s services in the US will continue to trade normally.

Also, it has been widely reported in various media channels, Setanta Sports has had its agreement to broadcast 46 Barclays Premier League matches in the UK terminated.

This development does not affect our channels and other services in the US.

That's all fine and dandy, but i'm Canadian, does this pertain to us, do we share the same feeds and such?

I've noticed none of the listings have matched what has been on Setanta recently so that's why this concern has come up.
