Out of interest does anybody know if they've got the rights to IPL cricket this year? Tried to find out on the setanta web-site but drew a blank.
I've always said Sky and Rupert Murdoch have too much power and influence..... Sky have clearly monopolised the domestic (Pay tv) market and the auction system does not appear to be fair..... Sky will always win unless Ofcom do something about it..... However I wouldn't be surprised if Murdoch hasn't paid OFCOM off as well..... There's some deep corruption here, that's for sure People should try get a minimal cable deal, then buy an itgate box..... cheapest option for pay TV..... google it and find out how you can avoid (some say steal) from Murdoch
If they cut back on boxing, then I can see Setanta giving up UFC as well. Setanta have put on a lot of decent stuff for us boxing/mma fans, (It was their coverage of Haye v Mormeck that got me to subscribe), but I think a lot of us secretly knew it could never last.........:cry::cry::cry:
