Fox Soccer + picks up American rights to SPL

FUCK. I can't get Fox Soccer +.

Goddamnit.

However, maybe that gets more people off of the EPL and onto Celtic, which would be nice.

It's online rights though, so I would think no? Though I'm not entirely sure.

Celtic had all the CL matches (well...actually everything, since as to my knowledge they were the first team in any sport to do it) and it was only until a few years later other people - UEFA,...

Will still be a market for Ch67 as while mostly it'll be us and whatever form of der hun is around, we can't be live every game with EPL and other scheduling conflicts.

Well that's good news but the 15 a month anyone know if a year contract type thing or does it depend on your cable provider?

Yeah, they mainly showed replays and the occasional live game. Oh, plus the SPL wrap up shows, which were brilliant.

Celtic has their online rights though, I doubt they want to shift all of their income from Channel 67 to Fox Soccer Channel, since most of it is ex-pats, and fans outside the UK and Ireland.

It went month to month for me, which is most cable providers do, but I'd check your local bit.

I can finally watch Aberdeen matches without them playing the OF. celb (8).gif

It was cool back when it was Setanta, and they had all the pregame show and all that, I remember watching Dundee United vs. Hearts back in 2007? on it.

I'd watch random SPL games as it's in my interest, plus some teams actually play some decent stuff when not playing Celtic or Rangers.

The increased ad revenue and exposure will be much more profitable and beneficial.

Yeah, plus I doubt most of the games will be live other than Derby matches, plus, I'd rather listen to Channel 67 then whatever other commentators they'll have on.

I'm sure there will be some live games on FSC+ other than Huns games.

Probably rotate weekends. Most of the Rangers fans are in Canada anyway, and Celtic has their bigger fanbase here. You are likely right, but Setanta wasn't live --- since instead they wanted to...
