EPL Talk reader Tokyo Toffeeman wrote in to say how “coincidental” it was that Sky Sports decided to broadcast its live Championship coverage for the 07/08 season at the same time that Setanta will be broadcasting its package of matches.
Seems like Sky is already trying to make life difficult for Setanta.
For example, Setanta will be showing the 12:15pm ET match on Saturdays in addition to some of the Monday 3pm matches. When the Football League announced its schedule for the 07/08 Championship season, Sky followed up to say that it would be broadcasting the Championship matches at the aforementioned times. For example, on the opening weekend, Sky Sports will be showing Wolverhampton Wanderers against Watford at 12:20pm ET.
