CTV announced today the programming lineup for its suite of specialty channels. Here are Bravo!'s 2009-2010 programming highlights.
NHL ON TSN
TSN’s all-encompassing broadcast package delivers more NHL coverage of Canadian teams than ever before. During the 2009-10 season, TSN will televise nationally at least 70 regular season games featuring at least one Canadian team. TSN will also have live coverage from the first three rounds of the STANLEY CUP® PLAYOFFS. TSN continues to have exclusivity of WEDNESDAY NIGHT HOCKEY and Canadian coverage of the NHL ENTRY DRAFT and NHL DRAFT LOTTERY SPECIAL. TSN is coming off a season that saw the network obtain record ratings for its NHL regular season and playoff games. TSN2 airs an additional 30 exclusive games featuring U.S. based teams.
IIHF WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Canada’s annual holiday hockey tradition in late December/early January continues with Team Canada looking for a sixth straight gold medal at the 2010 IIHF WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP. TSN will provide live coverage of the tourney, including all of Team Canada’s games. Last year, TSN’s coverage of the Gold Medal game attracted 3.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched broadcast ever on TSN.
CFL ON TSN
TSN will televise every single CFL game – including the playoffs and coveted GREY CUP – making TSN the ultimate destination for all things Canadian football. The complete 77-game package is part of TSN’s multi-year deal with the CFL. WENDY’S FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL returns for its 13th season and will continue to be the marquee night of the week for the CFL ON TSN. Wendy's Kick For a Million is back for another installment as one lucky fan will get the chance of a lifetime to kick a 50-yard field goal during halftime at a CFL game for $1 million.
NFL ON TSN
CTV and TSN boast the biggest – and most prestigious – NFL broadcast package in Canada. CTV will air all Sunday afternoon early games (1 p.m. ET) and every NFL playoff game – including the SUPER BOWL, while TSN continues to provide exclusive Canadian coverage of SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL and MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. In all, TSN will televise 34 regular season games in 2009-10.
SEASON OF CHAMPIONS CURLING
TSN’s multi-year broadcast deal with the Canadian Curling Association continues this season, providing TSN with exclusive Canadian rights to all Season of Champions events – including the semifinals and finals.
