Personally I think this is viable but the timescale involved probably means it isn't realistic. There's an awful lot to put in place before the start of the season. Do Celtic and Rangers own their Sky epg slot? Who would produce shows, take subscriptions, sell rights overseas?

Setanta made a lot of money when the only thing they had on their portfolio was the SPL. Celtic and Rangers have a phenomenal worldwide fan base.

I was quite happy to be one of the first subscribers to Setanta for the Scottish football and would be quite happy to subscribe to SPL TV or what ever they would call it. I just don't see it happening..
I dnt think they do but i am pretty sure they coudl afford to buy one form a smaller company, but the biggest problem is who would produce it and the fact there unlikely to be able ot do hd
