Premier Sports will not provide as extensive coverage as Setanta with up to 30 games a season being shown but this will please supporters as there will be less disruption of fixtures to suit television schedules. The possibility of a Friday night or Sunday slot is being discussed.
Premier Sports is a relatively low profile channel that boasts Gaelic football and Australian rugby football league, but is looking to expand into the English football market.
