It appears they have purchased the rights to 2 games/week but I think it may only be for the tv broadcast in the UK. It shows them as a provider on the epl site for the UK (here: http://www.premierleague.com/page/UK...,12306,00.html ), but they are not listed as providers in the US, Setanta still is (here: http://www.premierleague.com/page/In...384625,00.html ). I also double checked on ESPN's website under their tv listings and I couldn't find any evidence of any games being shown, at least for this week. So who knows what kind of coverage we will get here in the States?
