  ### Online
  
  After Setanta Sports entered administration and ceased broadcasting its core channels, Rangers announced that Rangers TV has ceased broadcasting on satellite TV, but hoped there will be an opportunity to restore a dedicated Rangers TV channel in the future depending on discussions with broadcasters. On 30 October 2009 Rangers TV re-launched as an internet subscription based TV channel at rangerstv.tv.
