[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 108344"] Setanta Sports and ITV have joined together to seal a €650 million rights deal to broadcast FA Cup games and England internationals as well as other underage and mickey mouse tournaments organised by the FA. At the moment there are 23 FA Cup games plus replays shown by both BBC and Sky but now that will increase to 41 from Setanta and ITV with ITV having first pick in each round of the FA Cup. For Irish viewers the games will not be shown on Setanta Sports Ireland, only on their digital platform in a bid no doubt to attract extra subscribers, somehow I don't think this will work for them, they'd be better off using the Rugby World Cup as bait to get extra Irish viewers. This deal though does seem a tad excessive and at the moment it's not clear what the situation will be reagrding England home qualifiers. [/QUOTE]
