Setanta Sports News

I've seen a promo just before 6.30pm on Setanta 1 and it's removed the Sky EPG number.

The video on the SetantaSports.com site (although v. small) now only refers to the Virgin Media number...

What! I can't believe that, this was the only time I was excited about a sports channel launching

Are you sure about that ? My EPG seems to indicate 10am tomorrow.

The programmes are branded as follows by the way

06.00 - 09.00 Back Page First
09.00 - 12.00 Morning Briefing
12.00 - 15.00 Around the Sports

Trevor East - speaking on talkSPORT - said it launched in the afternoon...

:

Totally sure - My mate is working on it.

Can't see them launching at midnight!


Notice "Setanta Sports News" is airing on the main Setanta channel on Saturday afternoons - so presumably it'll be some kind of "Soccer Saturday" type service.


And what did I say about Sky - why am I not surprised! And the thing is they get away with it every single time!

when will it appear on the sky epg? will it appear automatically or do i have to add the channel manually??

Yes, I'd be intrested to know that aswell. So, are we set for a 12am launch?? Intresting time to launch a news channel!

Probably about May next year if Sky have anything to do with it.


Is it being broadcast FTV or FTA on Sky, are being bundled in with either the general sports package or even just being made available to Setanta customers?

As I'm not near to a TV, has it just launched or are we waiting until the morning!?

Oh, not that old chestnut.

Of course it didn't launch at midnight, what channel would ?

Apologies for that. 10am I am told.
