Broadcasting List of Premier League broadcasters This season was the last of a three-year domestic television rights deal agreed in 2006. Television rights continue to provide a large portion of Premier League clubs' revenue. However, on 19 June 2009, the Premier League annulled its contract with Ireland-based broadcaster Setanta Sports after the company failed to pay an instalment to the league with speculation mounting that the company would enter administration. As a result, Setanta Sports' share was bought by United States–based broadcasters ESPN, while Sky Sports continue to hold four of the six 23-live match packages.ESPN buys rights to Setanta games https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8113702.stm BBC News British Broadcasting Corporation 22 June 2009 23 June 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090623011656/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8113702.stm 23 June 2009 live In the United States, the Disney-owned network is making use of sibling-network ESPN2 to televise early Saturday matches and Monday matches. This was possible due to Setanta Sports' financial troubles, which required their US-based North America division to sell its rights to those games back to Fox Sports International, who in turn sublicensed them to ESPN. Setanta continues to broadcast a reduced number of matches in Ireland. In Australia, most games are available live on Fox Sports. Sentanta Sports USA operations ceased on 28 February, and Fox Soccer Plus replaced Sentanta as a pay service the following day. On 31 January 2010, Sky Sports broadcast the match between Arsenal and Manchester United in 3D.
