Looks like we're getting our own TV station

[moondance]

And it's official:

Doesn't say anything about who'll be able to receive it though.
Although as the owners are American then I would say there's a fair chance it'll be available in both the UK and States (and probably a lot of Asia too).

Interesting times. :)

YES! that's fantastic news! I can't wait to drop my stupid Fox Soccer Channel, that for some reason is programmed by someone obsessed with AC Milan. I really do hope it's available in the US!

As I understand it, if you have Setanta or an E-Season Ticket subscription to the LFC website, you'll have access to LFC TV.

That $9 I pay every month for the E-Season Ticket just keeps getting better! :D

I hope I am wrong about this, VERY wrong actually, but I don't think Setanta US is carrying LFC TV. It's its own channel in the UK, but in the US, Gol TV dropped it, and no one else has picked it up.

Please tell me I am wrong. Pleeeeease. I don't want to have to buy FSC and Setanta.

[drobny23]

From the official site. Note that there is no info that it's being sold to anyone in the US, which means if you want it you need e-ticket.


LFC TV, Liverpool Football's Club's dedicated TV Channel will launch in September 2007. The channel will be broadcast on cable and satellite as part of the Setanta Sports pack Subscribers will receive LFC TV along with 8 other sports channels including Setanta Sports 1 & 2 which will feature 46 live Premiership games.

Why is LFC TV only available as a bundle with the other Setanta channels?

Liverpool FC have been looking into options for a television channel for a number of years and the Setanta offering is the first that has been considered commercially viable. We also regard the Setanta proposition, which entails receiving 9 channels for a monthly subscription that is only very slightly higher than some standalone Club channel offerings, as extremely good value for our fans.

Can I access LFC TV from overseas?

UK and Republic of Ireland subscribers can view LFC TV as part of Setanta sports on their television. Fans in the rest of the world can watch LFC TV online as part of an e-Season Ticket subscription. If you are interested in subscribing to e-Season Ticket (which will include LFC TV once it launches in September) please see our free preview area.

How much is the Setanta package (including LFC TV) on Virgin Media Cable?
