TORONTO – Spring is in the air and Rogers’ Sportsnet will once again offer extensive Toronto Blue Jays coverage on TV, radio and digitally.

“We recognize that Blue Jays fans are hungry for unique content on a variety of platforms,” said Sportsnet president Bart Yabsley, in the news release. “In addition to the high quality television production and expert insights that viewers have come to expect from Sportsnet, we will continue to integrate world-class radio broadcasts, social media initiatives, podcasts, blogs, web features, and more into our Blue Jays coverage throughout the season.”
Rogers also announced the return of Blue Jays: Pinoy Edition, which will see 27 regular season Jays games broadcast in Filipino on OMNI Television and ICI Television Quebec. The games will air live every Sunday beginning March 31, hosted by returning commentators Mike Cruz and Charles de Torres who this year will be joined by Andrea Aquino and Senen Salacup.
“We had such a strong response from the Filipino community last year that we are thrilled to continue connecting these baseball fans with the game they love in their language of choice,” said Manuel Fonseca, director, OMNI, lifestyle & entertainment production, Rogers Media, in that release. “OMNI is committed to bringing multilingual and ethnic Canadians a dynamic programming schedule, and this includes world-class sports content.”
