Setanta Sports UK fall out: STV signs deal to show Magners League highlights.
After being threatened with a television blackout this season, Scottish rugby is going to get at least some coverage after STV announced yesterday that it is bringing back a Sunday evening highlights package and will also be broadcasting the Edinburgh-Glasgow derbies at Christmas and new year live.

Setanta Sports UK fall out: Other Sports Rights.
I have found this on the BBC News website:
Quote:
Many industry experts now expect ESPN to make a move for the live FA Cup games, once owned by Setanta, that are still available.
But Ms Frank (ESPN Boss) points out that the rights to Blue Square Premier football, Guinness Premiership rugby union, NBA basketball, and Indian Premier League cricket rights are still up for grabs.
"We are continuing to talk to all sports rights holders.," she says. "Where they are available and they make sense to our business model we will continue to acquire rights."
