Sportsnet-ONE to carry up to 15 extra Sens games

ian_mendes Our new channel Sportsnet ONE is set to carry up to 15 extra Sens games next season. (In addition to the 40 we already show on SN East).

This is the first I am hearing of a new channel, so it will of course take some research to look into, like will it be included with the current Rogers Sportsnet packages, or will it cost extra? Will it still black out games in out of market areas (which sucks for me).

Ottawa Senators
OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators and Rogers Sportsnet announced today they have reached an agreement on a four-year deal to broadcast up to 15 regular season games on Rogers Sportsnet One, starting with the 2010-2011 NHL season.

Rogers Sportsnet One is a new 24-hour national sports digital channel that will feature more than 800 hours of live-event programming, of which the majority will be broadcast in high-definition format. Sportsnet One is scheduled to launch on Saturday, Aug. 14.

Rogers Sportsnet One will also broadcast a Senators pre-season game which will be announced at a later date.

"We are excited about the launch of Sportsnet One,” said Senators president Cyril Leeder. “The new channel will result in more games being available for Senators fans. We want to make it as easy as possible for our fans to watch our games on television and Sportsnet One will help us do just that. We have been televising Senators games with Rogers Sportsnet since their inception and have built a strong working partnership with their organization in the process."

This new partnership is in addition to Rogers Sportsnet East’s 40-game Senators broadcast schedule, which is available to fans throughout the club’s regional broadcast territory.

“We’re excited to have Senators games available on Rogers Sportsnet One,” said Doug Beeforth, president of Rogers Sportsnet. “A tradition we have established on Rogers Sportsnet is to provide viewers 'Hockey That Matters', and we have accomplished that on Rogers Sportsnet One with the Senators.”

NHL regional restrictions apply for Rogers Sportsnet One, with Senators games to be made available to viewers in Ontario from Peterborough east and north to the Manitoba border, while also including Quebec and the four Atlantic provinces.

Rogers Sportsnet and Rogers Sportsnet One will announce its respective Senators broadcast schedules in August.

Boo!

Can we fire Dean Brown already? So sick of him.

I like Dean Brown. SCRAMBLEEEEEEEEEEE.

I like him too. he's been around for a while too, and gets gigs on HNIC that saves us from Bob Cole. and, quite frankly, homerism is EVERY WHERE, so why not in Ottawa either?

btw, this sportsnet one...is this a free channel or is this a shady knock-off the likes of tsn2?

You'd think that if you subscribe to S-Net you'd get it included, like TSN2 was included with Bell's HD pack or one of the theme packs.

Like TSN2, it will be sold to various cable companies. For us, Rogers simply wouldn't pay for TSN2 right away.

Well Rogers should have S-Net ONE since they own it lol

I don't care about his homerism, but I am not a fan of his voice or his style. It's time for a change.

Are you applying for the job? I'm all for change as long as we find somebody better. In my opinion, he's done alright.

LOL I would be terrible, I'd sound like a 50's announcer or someone boring like that!

I say the Sens should start a reality show on Sportsnet to find a new broadcaster

I'd imagine that it's included with Rogers cable package.

Just brutal.

Its time for you boys to say good bye to Toronto....LOL or just go to atdhe.net

I had used ATDHE and then we got Centre Ice, and while it is expensive, it is worth it to see HD games. I don't know what we will do this season though.

It's just a stupid, money grabbing scheme by the NHL. Here Rogers Sportsnet has 4 (soon to be 5) channels, that one can subscribe to all of (S-NET E/W/P/O and ONE). There's absolutely no reason why East (which is the East region excluding Toronto) cannot just carry the Sens games as usual for all to see. But the NHL chooses to black it out. Same with CBC - most people have CBC-E and CBC-W, and there's also CBC-M (Montreal). On HNIC they should have each carry a different game in HD when there are double-headers. Sucks that the Sens usually get relegated to the SD network.

Does centre ice broadcast games from tsn2 and now sportnet1?

Nope. What happens is if a game is available on a national network, like CBC or TSN, then the game is blacked out on CI. Same with S-NET - if it is available in your market you have to watch it on that channel.

Also if a game is exclusive to Leafs TV (a subscription channel) it won't be on CI.

Seriously it's all about the $$$

Oddly enough, RDS carries quite a few Sens games in HD.

okay but from what you're saying, it looks like the only broadcast that won't be on CI is the TSN and TSN2 broadcast. sens broadcasts on SN1 are not national though so technically it should still be available on center ice

No, no... I know that CI carries games that are also on S-NET, but if you are within the region of the game that is carried on S-NET, then the CI channel will be blacked-out. I will get pretty much 100% of all Sens broadcasts with CI, combined with CBC and TSN. Only Sens games I will see on S-NET not on CI are games vs. Leafs.

I'm not sure about the specific channels, but in Ottawa if you go to the 120s or so, they have regional CBCs. It's not in HD but I rather watch a game not in HD than a Leafs game in HD

I know why I don't like Dean Brown now, it's his way-too-Canadian accent. lol
