Hi Nick,

The bidding for the US TV rights to the Premier League haven’t been finalized yet. It’s going to be a while. But you’ll hear about it first on EPL Talk.

Cheers,
The Gaffer

Has the US tv rights for the Barclay’s been established as of yet? I have seen nothing since Fox Soccer got the Champion League’s rights? Anyone?

Maybe its just my GolTV withdrawal, after DISH pulled it from me, but I think 1st and foremost they need to get some involvement with the EPL, but to follow that up with a La Liga, could be huge….Fox has Italy as well as the EPL and Setanta has everything else European. They could pick up 2 big leagues, with both a ex pat and Latin American draw, and firmly entrench themselves into the soccer landscape. If I recall correctly La Liga's rights are coming up soon, though GolTV, will be very reluctant to lose those.

Seems like the best answer is for ESPN to buy Setanta. They will then get an immediate EPL presence in the UK and US. Seems like a no brainer. Setanta US also has the early games on Sunday and Saturday which could work well with their fall US football schedule, College Football Saturday and NFL preview shows on Sunday.
