    I saw an advertisement for this late last night on the channel that they are bringing football league coverage to the channel. Does anyone know when this is starting as it's an interesting prospect and I'm happy that they are broadcasting along with SKY. Also does it mean whatever week RTE are showing a Premiership game, Setanta will show a Championship game?

    No news anywhere that the Football League rights have been sold to anyone... Sky have the rights until the end of this season (06/07)

    Wonder what the ad was about then. They did advertise it as "The road to the Premiership"

    Whilst looking for other sports TV rights, I got the definitive answer to this one...

    Sky Sports have exclusive Football League coverage until the end of 2008/9. Their new three year contract started this season.

    Have you seen that promo since?

    Maybe, but they aren't showing any Football League footage yet... Maybe it starts next month or 2007?
