BEINSports looking to launch in UK. If launched it would be available on all platforms via a subscription.

Hmm, a pretty unattractive and crowded marketplace at the moment with operators like Premier Sports, EuroSport and ITV being caught in the crossfire between Sky Sports and BT Sport.
The rumour I heard sometime back was that Setanta was up for sale and was talking to beINSport. However, Setanta has operations in Eurasia, Australia and Asia and sold its African arm to Fox (who held a pre-existing 24% stake) so the discussions could easily have referred to any one of these entities and not Setanta Ireland.
I'm sure I also read that BT Sport and beINSport were talking about some kind of collaboration, I think that was around the time that Andy Gray commented on the FA Cup for BT.
