What all you non-Sky subscribers have been waiting for (or not)... Setanta Sports News!
Couldnt see a thread on this, only just found out today myself. But yes its true, 'SSN' now stands for two channels that will be competing for exactly the same fan base!
Im pretty sceptical as to how good it will be, but since those wanks at sky decided to pull the plug on their sports news channel from cable packages im keen for this one to flourish, or at least rival it. Ive missed my daily repetitive sports news! And they've signed up Kelly Dalglish!

Setanta Sports News is set to launch later this month and we want you to contribute to the freshest channel on the market.
Our new rolling 24-hour news service is encouraging everybody to get in touch and contribute to the agenda by sharing their views with us.
A selection of the best emails will be read out on air by our new presenters and we will also be offering prizes for the best email of the day, including Setanta T-shirts, towels and all manners of merchandise.
If you have a contribution worth making, then let us know. Our email address is views@setanta.com and we want you to make contact before the channel launches on November 29. So why not drop us a line now and, if we like your enthusiasm, we may well get back in touch with you.
To subscribe to Setanta click here.
Setanta Sports News is free to air on the Virgin Media platform, and also on satellite, and it will cover, in detail, all relevant sports stories from the UK and abroad, regardless of whether the event is broadcasting on a Setanta channel.
The channel number on Virgin Media is 518 and the satellite number has still to be confirmed.
"We want Setanta Sports News to be fun and engaging for the nation's sports fans," explained Geoff Hill, the editor-in-chief.
"Viewers will get the sports news that matters delivered in a thorough, concise and accurate way, but this channel will be much more than a rolling sports news service - we want the added value of passionate input from fans.
"We aim to be alongside them at every major sporting event across the UK."
Kelly Dalglish is confirmed as presenter of our new weekly chat show as the channel is jointly owned by Setanta Sports and Virgin Media and produced by ITN.
So have we heard yet whether Setanta has picked up enough subscriptions so far to justify buying its football rights? I'm still hoping it will just **** off...

They'll no doubt use it to promote the Setanta live games as you would expect. I like Sky Sports News when i am back home and get Eurosport News here so if it isnt on the Sky thing then i'll never see it
