Saint and Greavsie Outtake
Ian St John and Jimmy Greaves have reformed their legendary football pundit double-act and will star in a Saint & Greavsie FA Cup Special being broadcast by Setanta on May 30th 2009 as an integral part of the channels coverage of the FA Cup Final. They last appeared together on British TV screens in their own football show in 1992.
The return of Saint & Greavsie is a key component of Setantas plans to roll back to the days when watching TV on FA Cup final day was a magical experience, as much about the build-up to the game as the game itself. This year coverage will start at 9am and will be free-to-air, meaning the signal will be un-encrypted and therefore available to cable and satellite viewers without a subscription, until 7pm.
Setanta is also taking football broadcasting further into the 21st Century by offering the first-ever Twitter commentary of an FA cup final next weekend when its match commentator, Jon Champion, turns Commentweeter by simulcasting his comments on the social networking website throughout the game.
Champion, who has been commentating on live football for over 20 years, will be posting on his Twitter feed at the same time he leads the match commentary on Setanta Sports. Hell also be using the micro-blogging site to post preview comments and interact with users in the days leading up to the final, which this year sees Chelsea take on Everton in the Wembley showpiece.
The Twitter commentary, which can be followed at

is a key component of Setantas coverage, which plans to combine traditional FA cup final TV viewing with a modern twist. This year, Setantas coverage will start at 9am and will be free-to-air, meaning the signal will be un-encrypted and therefore available to cable and satellite viewers without a subscription, until 7pm.
