BT Vision Drops
Setanta
BT Vision has stopped selling Setanta Sports after the Irish
broadcaster lost its rights to the English Premier league.
Existing customers are still getting Setanta output - either through a
package or paid-for service.
But BT Vision said it was reviewing what it would provide "in the event the
channel ceases broadcasting".
Setanta is thought to be losing £100m a year, with Deloitte lined up to act
as administrator if it fails.
A BT spokesman said: "We are in ongoing dialogue with Setanta and other
relevant parties as the situation develops."
The Premier League took rights to 46 of next season's games back from
beleaguered firm on Friday after it missed a payment deadline.
Rival broadcasters have been given until Monday to lodge bids for the
rights.
The Premier League said it expected to announce the winners of the auction
by the end of the week - adding that it would financially be no worse off
because of the Setanta problem.
