Information and Schedules for 2008

Nationwide coverage of Aussie rules in 2008 for US fans will be on Setanta Sports [DirecTV ch. 621, DISH Network ch. 406, and WorldTV (Globecast satellite services), on NexTV and GekTV (IPTV providers), and on some Cox Cable systems], and on MHz Worldview (WorldTV ch. 52, DirecTV International ch. 2183, and some local outlets as noted below).  For Canadians, Setanta Canada (various cable and satellite systems including Bell ExpressVu ch. 420, Star Choice, Shaw, Rogers, EastLink, and SaskTel) has similar coverage to the US channel with some time differences: mostly for delayed telecasts which are noted on our schedules and AFL Highlights are back for the finals.  This web page will have schedules below for those networks each week all season, updated as information becomes available.  Coverage on Setanta only is up to 3 matches LIVE each week.  Eventually we are promised the remaining 5 matches each week on delay.  We do not expect all matches to be aired in this season.  Setanta Broadband carries the same coverage as listed for Setanta USA. Click the following links for schedule info on Setanta USA, plus Setanta Canada and MHz Worldview.  If your city is listed above, check the MHz Worldview schedule.  Washington DC area viewers should check our MHz Networks 1 / WNVC listings.   Coverage in 2008 on Setanta will begin with the preseason NAB Cup matches on 16 February and run thru to the Grand Final, live at the end of the season in September.
