"Setanta&amp;#039;s US operation has announced that it will continue to show Premier League matches despite yesterday&amp;#039;s termination of the agreement between Setanta UK and the League. Yesterday, Setanta failed to meet its contractual obligations to the Premier League, and its rights to 46 matches in the 2009-10 are up for sale. Although Setanta itself appears to be continuing to accept new subscriptions, key retail partner BT Vision has stopped selling Setanta Sports to its customers. &amp;quot;As has been widely reported in various media channels, Setanta Sports has today had its agreement to broadcast 46 Barclays Premier League matches in the UK terminated. &amp;quot;This development does not affect our channels and other services in the US. &amp;quot;Setanta Sports in the US is a separate operation that has separate agreement to show the Barclays Premier League. Our channels and other services in the US continue to broadcast and our subscribers can still enjoy our programming including the Lions Tour of South Africa and the UEFA U21 European Championship.&amp;quot; Setanta US is continuing to accept new subscribers. Setanta in Canada is similarly unaffected by the turmoil in the UK, as is Setanta Australia and Setanta Africa. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
