Setanta poaches ITV Sport presenter
ITV Sport's Angus Scott will front Setanta Sports' Premiership football coverage next season. Expert analysis will come from former Liverpool and England star Steve McManaman. The duo will broadcast live from the grounds rather than being based in a studio. They have been selected because they are both in their thirties and will appeal to the younger generation of football fans. Setanta is also gearing up to announce more pundits and its commentary team. More Here: http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/broadc...StoryID=168730 News from Broadcast Now.

You will need 'Setanta Sport package' at E15 per month. Note: You need to keep Setanta in for one year with Sky OR one month with Virgin TV once orders. For more information see this: http://gb.setanta.tv/gbgetsetantasports.htm

Re: Setanta poaches ITV Sport presenter
Update: Setanta Sports has added former England footballer Les Ferdinand to its Premiership presenting line-up.
The ex-QPR striker will join ITV Sport's Angus Scott and former Liverpool and England player Steve McManaman who were recruited last month to front the channel's premier league football coverage, which begins in August.
The sports broadcaster paid £392 million for the rights to exclusively screen 46 Barclays Premier League games for three years from the 2007-2008 season, sharing coverage with Sky Sports, which will broadcast 92 games.
Ferdinand said: "I'm really looking forward to working alongside Steve and Angus at Setanta Sports. I played alongside Steve with England and it's going to be fantastic being at the station at the start of their exciting venture."

Re: Setanta poaches ITV Sport presenter
I have recently subscribed to Setanta. Could someone please tell me what will be available football -wise on Setanta next season. I watch all types of football - from Non-League, Irish, Scottish, Italian, Spanish etc etc. I heard Setanta have got the Conference League soccer live next season. Could someone please let me know what is going on. Setanta not very good at explaining what I can see in the UK next season? Will it all be included in my subscription as I am not paying any extra for pay per view. Come on Setanta advertise what you are doing because I have no idea what I can see next season??

If only they'd take Lawrenson & Hansen from the Beeb too... that would really make my day, as I can't stand them and I've got no intention of subscribing to Setanta

Re: Setanta poaches ITV Sport presenter
The e mail response is very helpful but the site is awful.
Freeview subbies get setanta 1 only by the way.
Not too hot on widescreen either.
