It has been rumoured that they are after the FA Cup rights previously held by Setanta. Nothing concrete.

ITV1* have got the rights to all the England that Setanta Sports has.

*Not in STV areas.

Has there been any mention of the Europe League rights? Setanta was going to show it for the first time next season, but not heard of anybody picking the rights up.

No news.

Note: Setanta Sports was only part of the deal for the UK Rights.

ITV and Five also got the rights to games.

That site is aimed at sports broadcast on UK TV channels. It's my main source of information when it comes to finding out what's on when.

All arms know exactly what they are doing. Let me dig out some old "horse's mouth" posts for you...

Notice a theme there? This has been very carefully planned by VM for months.

Which is typical of them.
