FOX Soccer Plus
If you are American read on. Over the weekend rumours started to fly about that Fox was going to buy the American arm of Setanta Sports. This has proven to be incorrect as Fox will cut out Setanta Sports to launch a second soccer channel called Fox Soccer Plus.
All of this is breaking so information regarding will it be there a subscription rate like Setanta or will cable providers put it on a same tier as Fox Soccer Channel I couldn’t tell you. What I can tell you is as of March 1st 2010 Fox won’t be subleasing EPL games to Setanta which means no more EPL on Setanta Sports US. I’m all for a soccer channel showing more than EPL, Serie A, La Liga but charging 15 bucks a month for it would be a tough go. Interesting what happens to Setanta sports from here without being able to broadcast EPL games.
