  1. Don't know what happend to that channel but setanta has a good golf channel ,i know it's subscription based but they have had lot of introduction deals with no obligation i got 3 months for £1 a month and can cancel anytime


  2. JJB Sports bought the company which had the UK broadcast rights for Golf Channel UK (Golf TV). The website now pushes you to a JJB shopping site. So it has come off air as a result of that acquisition.

    Clearly others didn't know much either. I've asked IMG who claim to have international TV rights for the LPGA with no response and the LET who issued a press release yesterday about LET stars on the next Big Break were unaware that the Golf Channel UK was off air.

    So why it is no longer on air is known, what is not known is whether it will come back in some form and similarly what would happen to LPGA broadcast rights etc.

    If JJB are not interested in them then someone out there may be interested in Golf Channel UK broadcast rights etc.......

    I wouldn't hold out much hope for Setanta on this. They have a warchest for TV rights but they need to get eyeballs so their warchest will be focused on the biggest eyeball return per euro.

  3. I am very annoyed with Sky as they keep changing what I paid for. The Golf Channel lost  PGA coverage to Setanta a few months ago and now Sky appeared to have stopped it altogether. I think we should write to SDky and register our protest.

  4. Could be due to lack of cash these days, it also hase been take off the EPG has well. You could  E-mail: customer@golftvinfo.co.uk
