After all the hassle during the chase i've discovered that NTL will soon be offering the Setanta Sports package the same as SKY


This the Price list for Feb 2007 and includes NASN in the Setanta Sports Package

i wouldn't get too excited.

Setanta are planning on selling off NASN to fund their premiership coverage. ESPN is looking to buy them. So now you'll have to wait to see if ESPN/NTL do a deal to broadcast.

Hopefully the price will come back down since we won't be paying for all the Setanta ****...

cgs, have you got a link to the announcement? Do you think they'll change the name to ESPN? Surely has more of a cache than NASN, especially to its target audience.
