The Premier League has issued a statement regarding its broadcast agreement with Setanta.
The Premier League has been working with Setanta for some time to help them continue as the broadcaster of 46 UK Live Matches for the 2009/10 Season.
The Premier League, in agreement with Setanta, stipulated that certain contractual requirements had to be met on or before Friday 19 June 2009 to allow the preparations for the 2009/10 season to continue unaffected.
It is with considerable regret that we announce that Setanta has been unable to meet their obligations. As such the existing licence agreement between us has been terminated with immediate effect.
The Premier League will now go ahead and market the 46 UK Live Matches for the 2009/10 Season.
There will be no further comment until the conclusion of the sales process.
