I wish that I knew more about US broadcast rights etc. However, I hope, as Tim stated, that everything is sorted quickly. I will hate for my fellow Gunners to miss any matches.

I stand with you in Solidarity.

It is an old known fact that FOXSOCCER announce last year after they won the rights for the Champions League that they Will have foxsoccer in HD in January 10 that was one of the promises they had to make to UEFA to get the RIGHTG.

To sjclarke-
Don’t hold your breath about Fox Soccer Channel HD (if you have comcast)
If you live in a baseball(yaaaawn)/football/hoops area (like I do, Tallahasssee FL) you can forget it. Comcast told me it is all about SUPPY AND DEMAND..in other words MONEY. ONLY and ONLY _IF_ they get enough people demanding it they will air FSC in HD.

Irish, I believe that Rogers owns 75% of Setanta Canada so it will be around, at least in some form.

@Irishgunner, So far, it's just Setanta USA.

Does this affect Setanta Canada in any way or is it just the US?

@Tim, lol then again, Setanta could just be screwing with us, since they are going under FFS

@kevin, Wait, hows that possible? According to EPL Talk, Setanta will never broadcast another match ever again!

woohoo, setanta now has on their site that they have moved up the Arsenal Bolton match tomorrow into the LIVE timeslot, replacing the CC match…doesn’t matter much to me as I have to record it anyways and watch it in the evening, but still, good for all the loyal setanta subscribers!
