Setanta's loss is Fox Soccer Channel's gain.
Setanta announced Wednesday that it will be ceasing its broadcasting operations in the United States and Caribbean on Feb. 28 and that it will also be transferring many of its broadcasting rights to FSC effective March 1.
FSC will be launching its second channel, Fox Soccer Channel Plus, and will be broadcast in high definition the day after Setanta USA shuts down.
Setanta will continue to run its regularly scheduled programming in the USA and Caribbean through Feb. 28. The company's channel in Canada is not affected by the announcement.
What will you miss about Setanta Sports USA? Glad to see FSC taking bigger strides? Do you think this means more Proactiv commercials?

Thanks for the update… wasn’t a huge fan of the service anyway but I’ll take soccer anyway I could get it
Same here in New Jersey plus I have the NBA network

PASS IT ON TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO WATCHES SOCCER
I really started to get into Rugby, I like the fact that like soccer NO commercials during games. I am really getting sick of NFL with all the commercials.
And now all champions league and Europa League games will now be in HD on Direct TV.
If you signed up for Setanta-i (broadband) they will be sending you a refund for the remainder of your yearly subscription. I sent an e-mail to cancel and they responded they everyone will automatically receive the refund.
FoxSC and TV definition dont go in the same sentence, they cant even put up standard def 480.
Im pissed only cause my $150 a year for Setanta Broadband is now wasted after 5 months.
Im just trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to pay for the games I really want on foxsoccer.tv instead of upgrading my cable.
Whoa, this comment needs to be deleted. Ives?
$10-15 a month adds up to a lot of money for some people.
Guys don’t forget to call your cable/satellite provider and request Fox Soccer Plus be added to your line-up.
I totally miss the Special1. would have been nice to have his analysis of the ACM / Inter match… And Wayne’s behind the scenes, indepth reporting of the plight of Carlos… “dats brilliant, it is!”
bring back Special 1
