Setanta Sports is to cease all broadcasting in the UK. The company announced this evening that it's gone into administration after the collapse of its business in Britain. Half of its 420 workers will be let go however it's understood most of the staff in Ireland are safe. Setanta Ireland and Setanta International will remain open and continue to broadcast as normal, while the administrator considers selling them as going concerns. Source: belfasttelegraph | ||
