The BBC has lost the rights to live Scottish Premier League football to Irish broadcaster Setanta which is believed to have offered £45 million for the four year deal. Setanta broadcasts on both SkyDigital and cable, it also has plans for a Freeview channel, although these have been suspended since last year as it attempts to resolve rights problems surrounding the free to air digital service. Under the deal, Setanta will broadcast 38 live games per season, the majority of which will kick off at 3pm on a Sunday. It will also be able to show 10 games on Saturdays at 3pm on a pay-per-view basis in Eire only, where Celtic in particular have a large following. The coverage will be produced by Wark Clements, the independent production company co-owned by the BBC's Newsnight presenter, Kirsty Wark. | ||

My System: Sky HD, TM6800HD, Manhattan Plaza ST550 and TM1500 CI+. 1.0m dish and 36v motor, Panasonic DVD HDD recorder and Panasonic video/DVD recorder. Sony G800 HD TV stand/surround system + Sony KDL40W2000. Infinity USB, Elvis, CAS1, CAS2. | The most boring league in the world and it cost £45million. Must have money to burn.  PS. I have a prediction, next season either Celtic or Rangers wil be champions.
