Setanta to Tweet FA Cup Final

Commentator becomes 'commenTweeter' for 90 minutes of Chelsea Vs Everton.

UK sports broadcaster Setanta will be offering a Twitter commentary of the FA Cup Final tomorrow.

Commentator Jon Champion will be displaying champion multi-tasking skills during the game by simulcasting his own on-screen words with Tweets.

Champion will also be using the micro-blogging site to post preview comments and interact with viewers leading up to the final.

The Twitter commentary, which can be followed at www.twitter.com/commentweeter.

Jon Champion said: “As a commentator, you want to communicate with people in a way that helps them enjoy the game as much as possible. If becoming a ‘Commentweeter’ is going to help do that, then I think this is a great idea. This will be the first time I’ve ever commentated on a game in two ways at the same time but I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be busy, but hopefully my co-commentator Craig Burley won’t be deliberately trying to put me off!”
