A third network has added AFL coverage for fans in the USA.  America One has reached an agreement with Setanta to air one AFL match per week on a tape America One Networkdelayed basis (typically 6 to 7 days after the live telecast).  The matches will be aired on Saturdays at 5:00 PM EDT and repeated on Sundays at 1:00 AM EDT on most America One affiliates but local times may vary and adjust times for your time zone.  America One programming is carried on local stations in over 125 markets across 32 plus states in the US.  There is a listing of the local stations here (not all America One affiliates will have AFL coverage and we are seeking a more definitive list).   AFANA will be adding information on this coverage to our TV pages shortly and will update this article with further information as we are able to confirm it.  We are pleased to have assisted in America One with this coverage.  read more »
