The North American Sports Network owned by Setanta Sports and private equity company Benchmark Capital is reportedly the subject of interest from Disney.
US entertainment trade magazine Variety reports that the Walt Disney Co. is in negotiations to buy the fast-growing European sports network NASN which broadcasts live US sport to several European countries including the UK, Germany, France and Russia.
Commentators say NASN’s coverage of US sports would complement Disney’s ESPN Classic channel.
