More About Setanta Sports
|
|
May 2006 was a significant month for Setanta as they broke Sky Sport’s three year monopoly on showing the Barclays Premier League football in the United Kingdom. At a cost of £392 million, they gathered the rights to show more than one live match each week of the football season.
Thereafter, the Setanta Sports package became much more coveted. Already featuring a wide ranging feast of American sports, golf, boxing, rugby, cricket and darts – the acquisition of the football confirmed the fact that Setanta was in the front row of sporting broadcasters.
For a fee of £12.99 per month you can subscribe to Setanta, which is fully compatible with almost all forms of receiving digital television. Setanta Sports is comprised of ten different channels, which include the flagship Setanta Sports 1 and the Setanta Sports News channel. Football fans will be pleased to know that various football teams have also struck a deal with Setanta, which means that Arsenal TV, Liverpool FC TV, Rangers TV and Celtic TV are also available and included in the subscription.
