Arsenal TV is a sports television channel devoted to coverage of the English football club Arsenal. It was a part of the Setanta Sports package and was similar to other Setanta's other channels Celtic TV, Rangers TV and LFC TV.[1]
History
Arsenal TV officially launched on 14 January 2008 on Sky Channel 423, however the channel was being tested on Sky for several days beforehand.[2] Arsenal TV is available as part of the Setanta Sports package on Sky[3] and joined Virgin Media on March 18 after a successful campaign by the club to get the channel on the service; it is available as part of the Setanta Sports package or TV Size XL.[4]
On 17 March 2008 a first timeshift channel called Arsenal Replay was added to Sky Channel 424 (which later moved to 448) and aired from 1.30am to 7.45am. On 27 March 2009, it was removed from the EPG.
On 12 May 2008 a second timeshift channel called AH TV was added to Sky Channel 454, and airs the same times as Arsenal Replay, however they broadcast on different days from each other, but still show the same programming from earlier in the day from channel 435. On 28 April 2009, it was removed from the EPG.
The TV channel currently screens on Monday to Fridays: 4.30pm - 2am and Sunday: 6pm - 2am.[5]
After Setanta Sports entered administration and ceased broadcasting its core channels, Arsenal announced that Arsenal TV would continue broadcasting in the short term but the club will evaluate its long term viability. [6][7]
Closure
On 31 July 2009, Arsenal announced that as a result of Setanta Sports going into administration, Arsenal TV will no longer be available on the Sky platform until further notice. Since Setanta ceased to broadcast, the Club had been exploring alternative options regarding the future of Arsenal TV. However, for the short term, Arsenal TV will be exclusively available online. [8]
As of 5th August 2009 Arsenal TV continues to broadcast on channel 435 on the Sky EPG.
Facilities
Arsenal TV has a studio at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. Starting with the 2008/09 season, Arsenal will allow the Setanta Sports boxing production team to use the Emirates Stadium studio for boxing coverage where there is a studio clash between that and the live golf shown on Setanta Golf. Both require a studio but Input Media only has one. The first Setanta boxing event to use Arsenal's studio was Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tony Thompson on 12 July 2008.

The channel features:
- Replays of every Arsenal FC match in all competitions, including post match coverage & analysis
- Exclusive interviews with staff and players
- Live coverage of Arsenal Reserves and first-team friendly matches
- Highlights of Arsenal Academy and Arsenal Ladies matches
