Arsenal TV channel slot being sold off
Setanta's Arsenal, Celtic and Rangers channels are being sold off the BSkyB digital platform by administrators Deloitte.
Irish broadcaster Setanta recently went into administration and Deloitte have appointed Pay-TV channel consultancy Canis Media to work out a deal to sell off the channels.
The football channels, together with racing channels Racing UK and Racing World and Setanta's other sports and news channels, could be worth more than US$1.5 million.
Ed Hall, the chief executive of Canis Media, said: "Sports broadcasters should obviously be looking very closely at the EPG (electronic programme guide) to see how a channel move could help them.
"Other broadcasters should look carefully, too, as these positions can potentially be moved to other genres, subject to agreement with BSkyB."

so.. does that mean they will show Premier league games again? On Arsenal.com they are only showing preseason games because they don't have the rights to air the games.
