I was a Setanta subscriber and the things gone are Setanta 1+2,Setanta news and golf and Celtic and Rangers tv.

Arsenal and Liverpool tv,ESPNA,Racing uk and Setanta Ireland are still on.

Nice one cheers.

Following the collapse of Setanta ESPN America (formely NASN) is now part of the News & Events Mix on Sky along with ESPN Classic, British Eurosport, British Eurosport 2, At The Races, Motors TV, Extreme Sports, Sky Sports News, Real Madrid TV, Star News, Fox News and CNBC.

So it costs £1 a month now in theory. It has also replaced Setanta on Freeview.

Nice one, opportunity to catch some baseball later then....happy days

That's fantastic, thank you ESPN and Sky.

Now if they can just make this new ESPN channel for the Premier League part of the Sky Sports pack.

What will happen with the Scottish Premier League?

same as the premire league i have heard

The Blue Square Conference and Scottish Premier League are both looking for new contracts.

I'd guess there is a fair chance of ESPN picking up the Conference if it wants a dedicated football pay channel (think the rights would come at next to nothing and they would be able to put games on on days they have no Premiership games....the SPL will not come so cheaply so they might not want to go for that).

I have read they will be charging a tenner a month for the Premiership games but not sure if it will go out on the existing ESPN America channel or on a new channel.

YES!!!!
ESPN America on SKY, baseball galore starting with the Dodgers vs White Sox at 7 tonight

It's great isn't it

Eurosport have quickly picked up the USPGA Golf events so rights can be shifted at quick notice. Let's hope NRL soon follows somewhere.

Free ESPN not for much longer..............................
