North America

As we reported in US Nationals and AFL TV broadcast updates, there have been major changes to AFL TV coverage in North America in 2006. It is good to see that Setanta Sports are making at least early efforts to promote the game, with a dedicated page on their website (you may have to select North America or look for the Aussie Rules logo). Note that the page shows the AFL fixtures, not the telecast schedule.

Reports from the US are so far mixed, with some people very excited about the live coverage, whilst others have found their region to be a black hole for Setanta. The programming schedules and availability of coverage are always very complicated and as always we refer readers to AFANA for more details and background on the AFL's efforts to get wider support in the US.
