    This year's Cup Final may be our last on FSC for quite a while.

    Sort of makes you wonder what's going to happen with the expensive new EPL television package next year?

    Figures, the only Fox channel worth watching may not cover English fitba at all!

    Is ITV realted to ITVN? I see a Setanta subscription in my not too distant future.

    And the one name that could make a huge difference, ESPN, only gets to report about the deal. When are those guys going to come to the party??

    No, they're not related. ITV is broadcast company network in the UK, similiar to SKY, BBC, etc. ITVN is web based tv or IPTV company in the US.

    I think this deal only covers the English broadcast rights.

    here's an article stating FSC has rights until 2010:

    Heather is right, the deal reached by the FA and Setanta/ITV is only for the folks in England. FSI still will hold the rights to the FA Cup here in the States.

    Hopefully this leads to Dish Network picking up Setanta.
