Pay-per-view will be the only way to watch the European Championship live in the United States. For a fee, home viewers can watch all or parts of the tournament through DirecTV, DISH Network, iNDemand, TVN and selected cable operators. Those outlets will carry Euro 2000 thanks to Setanta Sport, which holds the exclusive rights to show the tournament in North America. Setanta is a narrowcast satellite service that specializes in showing live sports to Irish and British fans throughout North America, Australia, Europe and Britain. Ratings for the last tournament, Euro ’96, were low on ESPN and ESPN2, so Setanta doesn’t expect to get rich off of putting Euro 2000 on pay-per-view. “I hope we do [make money],” said San Francisco-based Shane O’Rourke, the president of North American operations for Setanta. “I’m keeping my fingers crossed.” DirecTV, DISH, iNDemand and some cable outlets will offer tournament packages with up to the full 31 games. Both DirecTV and DISH charge $149 for their tournament packages; iNDemand and the cable companies will charge approximately that much. iNDemand, which is divided into two channels, has the tournament on iNDemand 2, while iNDemand 1 offers selected games. DirecTV offers individual day packages for $19.95 each. The packages are subject to a $5.00 fee. DISH offers individual game packages at $19.95 each and offers a semifinals and final package for $24.95 total. TVN does not offer a complete package. Instead, TVN will show all four-games of the quarterfinals, for $19.95 total for the two June 24 matches and $19.95 total for the two June 25 quarterfinals. TVN will show the two semifinals, also for $19.95 for each game day (June 28 and June 29). TVN will show the July 2 final for $19.95. Fox Sports World and Fox Sports World Espanol will show 28 of the 31 games, but Fox will show them on tape at least seven days later. Some games will be delayed by eight days. The three games Fox Sports World won’t have will also be shown, but tape delayed, TV on Univision. The Spanish-language network will show the games — the June 11 clash between France and Denmark, the June 18 match between Slovenia and Spain and one of the June 25 quarterfinals — a half hour or one-hour after each game starts. Euro 2000 is also available via pay-per-view for commercial establishments, which need a C-band satellite dish and a Setanta decoder to get the games.
