CaliMag Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Okay this is just for the North American exiles... Does anyone know what is going on with the Setanta schedule? Our 15th of March away game was scheduled on Soccertv.com to be shown on Setanta USA until this morning but it would appear we have been bounced in favour of the Shaktar game? WTF? Is soccertv.com wrong? Are there other channels available? Anyone know of any Mexican channel listings (because I can get most Mexican satellite TV here in California)? All help appreciated.

CaliMag Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 ... hmmmm ... disappointing. I was hoping for more ITK stuff from the North Americans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer9 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Setanta apparantly have coverage of neither game, they've got the Spurs game as well as the Leverkusen one. FSC and GolTV either don't have coverage this year or don't have it until the later stages. I would hope that after this round the stuff will be on TV. I remember when we were getting our first round UEFA Cup games televised here.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to post a very stern e-mail to Setanta - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Well I sent an e-mail to the folks in charge of scheduling and North American broadcasts... I am hopeful that I came across as more humbly groveling as opposed to snivelingly desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 We're f*cked... I got an e-mail back from Setanta already: ________________________________________ From: Shane O'Rourke [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 1:56 PM To: XXXXXXXXXXXXX [email protected] Subject: Re: A Plea for a switch of the 15th March UEFA Cup game I am sorry we can't do this. We buy rights for the UEFA in packages and this game was not included and we would have to pay extra for it. While we appreicate your following of Newcastle we simply can't buy extra games when we have several key teams as part of our package. ----- Original Message ----- From: XXXXXXXXX To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 1:18 PM Subject: A Plea for a switch of the 15th March UEFA Cup game Dear Shane & Madeleine: Please show the AZ v. Newcastle game instead of the Shaktar v Seville game in the UEFA Cup on the 15th of March. I had been informed through soccertv that the NUFC/AZ game was to be shown only for conformation of the Shaktar game on Setanta Sports USA. I was disappointed as it was that Spurs were chosen over us for the first leg, but I am begging you to switch the second leg game. I can guarantee that the AZ NUFC game will spark much more interest and ratings for Setanta than the Shaktar match. There is a very large Geordie ex-pat population in the States (as you are already well aware of) and a small die hard AZ support base that has not been able to see them play in Europe before this season.

Shearer9 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 FSC only has rights to the final this season apparantly, and GolTV claims to have coverage of this event but I haven't seen any on air this season. There was a major rights shuffle in the offseason with Setanta coming in and a lot of contracts expiring, so its hard to know who has what this year.

chicago_shearer Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 So basically every fixture other than the one we want to watch is recieving some sort of coverage. Brilliant. And they wonder why illegal internet streaming is so popular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
