TORONTO and CALGARY – Add Shaw to the short list of distributors who have added Rogers Sportsnet One to their programming rosters.
Starting Wednesday, Shaw said that “the vast majority” of its customers will receive Sportsnet One as part of their existing television package. The channel will be available to all Shaw digital TV customers in a free preview until October 31, and then be added to the Shaw Digital TV, HD Plus, and HD Sports packages.
Shaw Direct customers will have Sportsnet One included in the English and French Essentials package, and in the HD Sports packages.
"As customer advocates, we’ve worked hard to make sure we can bring more NHL hockey to our customers across Canada," said Shaw president Peter Bissonnette, in the announcement. "Personally, as a hockey fan, I couldn’t be happier to be able to offer this channel before pre-season starts next week."
Rogers’ new 24/7 sports channel launched in August but has limited distribution to date.
