As reported, Setanta Sports went off-air yesterday, 23rd June, after going into administration.
Disney-owned sports service ESPN has just bought up the rights to show 46 Premier League matches from the 2009/2010 football season, and it seems that they have geared up very quickly to offer ESPN on existing services
Tonight, Freeview channel 34, previously occupied by Setanta, is showing the ESPN America. To view this, you either need a Top Up TV Anytime box or a Freeview box / IDTV that has a TopUp or Setanta card. ESPN is being offered free to Top Up TV subscribers, but it’s not clear how long for.
Seems that ESPN has been quick to fill the void offered by Setanta.
More when we have it.
