ITN was brought on board after sports production house TWI pulled out of the project. There had been suggestions that Virgin had been talking to ITN about a rolling news channel. ITN has been appointed the sole producer for Setanta’s forthcoming sports news channel in a deal that will see the creation of 56 jobs.
