by admincms — Tue, 2012-03-13 21:52 — Last Updated: Sun, 2012-04-22 11:44

The AFL announced today that it had reached a three year deal (2012-2014) with Fox Sports for weekly AFL coverage on FOX Soccer Plus (FSP).  FSP is the subscription channel counterpart to Fox Soccer (formerly Fox Soccer Channel and before that Fox Sports World).  The cost will be $14.99 a month and FSP is available to customers of DirecTV, DISH, Verizon FiOS, AT&T U-verse, most Time-Warner and Brighthouse cable systems, Cablevision, Cox, BlueRidge, Bendbroadband, SureWest, FullChannel, Frontier, and RCN cable.  The AFL was unable to come to a deal with ESPN for continued coverage on their outlets.  Coverage will be two live matches per week typically (will vary occasionally) plus all finals live. The AFL Winners weekly highlight show will be available on FSP also. AFANA will post more detailed schedules in the next few days and update all of our TV pages to reflect this change in coverage. (TV pages have been updated)  Canadian TV coverage will remain on TSN2 with one live match per week.  (Addendum: 03/23/12: MHz has confirmed they will continue coverage this season with games on Monday nights at 10:00 PM EDT, repeated on Saturdays at 4:00 AM EDT.  Matches will be edited to 2 hrs and they will not carry the highlights programs ("AFL Winners") this season on Saturdays. Also, FSP on some Time Warner systems which offer the Sports Pass package of channels,  FSP will be just $5.99 -- price may vary slightly in some areas.)  read more »

Comcast Cable Adds Setanta Sports

by admincms — Tue, 2008-11-25 15:05 — Last Updated: Mon, 2010-02-22 00:16

Setanta Sports has now added Comcast to the list of TV distributors that offer the channel.  Initially, the service is only available only to viewers in the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area (as channel 761).  Setanta Sports debuted on Comcast with little notice to football fans on Nov. 13th, 2008 and AFANA learned of this on Nov. 24th.  Comcast has indicated that as Comcast systems across the country become all digital, Setanta will be added on a progressive basis.  The Comcast press release included this:  "The launch, like the recent and upcoming launches of other international and High Definition programming unique to Comcast’s Boston and Brookline systems, will occur in other New England communities as the rest of the region converts to the nearly all digital network that Comcast created last year in Boston and Brookline as a national model for high-capacity broadband."  Comcast subscribers can call 1-800-266-2278 to inquire on availability in their area (and post a comment to tell us what you learn).  Cost is similar to that on all of the other outlets that offer Setanta Sports; $14.95 per month and is part of the "International" channel packages offered by Comcast.  Boston area fans can subscribe now.  More information is available at these links:  read more »
