The Australian version of Setanta Sports has gained distribution on the IPTV network of Canberra-based TransACT.
The channel has sports rights that include exclusive coverage in Australia of Six Nations rugby union and English FA Cup soccer.
A free one-week trial for all TransACT subscribers started yesterday, Feb 5. After the trial period, the channel will cost A$14.95 a month.
TransACT Chief Executive Officer Ivan Slavich said: “This is a substantial addition to our sports programming and when the cost of this channel is added to the cost of TransACT’s Essentials subscription package, which is $27 per month, TransACT customers get the best value entertainment offering in the market.”
