I’ve subscribed to FSC for 8 years now. In the beginning they were the only channel showing EPL and I was happy to get whatever I could. Then GolTV and Setanta came along. Being a rabid Arsenal supporter, I would say, in my opinion, Setanta provides me with the most matches that interest me, hands down. It’s a shame I have to pay additional fees to receive FSC/GolTV and Setanta. If I had to get rid of one fee, it would be the FSC/GolTV fee. I would miss it though. The point is, Setanta gives me the best value so if I was forced to choose between them, I’d keep Setanta. They have match build up, half time analysis with ex-pro’s, they show European Champions League matches and they have the best EPL matches usually. And they seem to be getting better and including more and more all the time like preseason friendlies.

do this study again for the 3 channels’ Canadian versions. GolTV = wierd CanCon shows 50% of the time, FSWC = retarded CanCon talk shows (which appear on SEVERAL other channels as well) and FSR reruns all night… nice

Hi John, in fact you do get Setanta in Canada. It’s called Setanta Sports Canada as opposed to Setanta Sports USA – varying schedule due to conflicting tv rights with Networks: FSC, Score, Sportsnet etc..

As for Brazilian Soccer – PFC International is your best bet.

Great article.

Makes interesting reading – well done! Pity we don’t get Setanta here in Canada. It’ll be a must if Fox will lose ground on EPL broadcasts next year. As to Soccermeister and the comment about Brazil…..yes,some of the best come from there – but they are not there! To my taste, their home league is nothing compared to their national team.

Great job on the study. But I dont see anyone following up on the Brasilian soccer at all. Some of the worlds best come from there and no one sees or hears of them as much. Unfortunately it all comes down to money, sad.
