Setanta TV to cover Conference.

Irish TV company Setanta Sports is to screen Conference matches in a 5-year deal starting next season with the Nationwide Conference according to the Altrincham official website.

The matches will include league games, play-offs, and a relaunched Conference Cup competition, which will be renamed the Setanta Sports Cup. It is expected that the games will be mostly screened on Thursday nights. Some 80 games a season are to be broadcast.

Former Alty chairman and now Nationwide Conference Chairman, Bill King, stated: "We are delighted to be part of the new and growing Setanta football family".

It is believed that the deal is reported to be worth £2.8 million to the Conference.
