TORONTO – TSN Broadband will feature both short-form and full-length TSN programming on-demand, at broadband speeds with enhanced resolution, the company announced today.
It’s Canada’s first fully programmed all-sports broadband channel and can be found at www.TSN.ca.
The ad-supported channel is now live and can be accessed from the TSN web site by clicking the TSN Broadband banner to launch the broadband channel. Viewers can browse all programs, create and customize their own video play-lists, share content with friends and watch everything in full-screen mode. It’s all available 24/7 to Canadians coast-to-coast.
In addition to providing full-length TSN programs on-demand, TSN Broadband will stream live coverage from various TSN broadcasts, beginning with the upcoming 2007 IIHF World Junior Championship (Dec. 26 to Jan. 5, 2007). Following the live coverage of each game involving Team Canada and all medal round games, the match-ups will also be available on-demand on TSN Broadband throughout the tournament until January 8.
"TSN Broadband is the only place in Canada viewers can see live streaming of entire games from top sporting events. It enhances the viewers’ ability to access key sports programming at their convenience," said Phil King, president, TSN.
TSN original programming available on broadband include; Off The Record, TSN The Reporters With Dave Hodge, SportsCentre News and Insider reports (pictured), as well as bonus material from In This Corner With Russ Anber, available exclusively on TSN Broadband. Viewers will find highlights, news reports, feature interviews and more.
However, don’t expect NHL or NFL games or other "premium" type content like that on TSN Broadband just yet.
The Sports Network’s broadband channel follows CTV’s – its parent company – lead. CTV launched the CTV Broadband Network earlier this year.
