Plus other news: ITVN's future; Setanta for sale? (Updated: see comments: ITVN On Life Support)
The first live coverage of AFL for 2008 begins this week with the Brisbane v Essendon match at 4:30 AM EST this Saturday morning. For more info, see our TV pages -- links on the sidebar and top menu. This is the first time ever that fans in North America have had any coverage of the preseason competition. Setanta has indicated to AFANA that they plan similar coverage for the rest of 2008 as we had in 2007. Setanta may cover up to 4 matches per week if schedule space permits. Initially, only 3 are scheduled for Round 1 of the AFL season.
AFANA has been monitoring the situation with ITVN closely.
The day started like any other Saturday in Melbourne, except for my eight year old son James, this was to be like no other.
