VANCOUVER – It may be hockey season, but Sportsnet’s all-sports radio station in Vancouver has nabbed the exclusive radio rights to the Vancouver Canadians, the Class A Short Season affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Starting next summer, Sportsnet 650 will broadcast C’s home games and select road games from the 2019 season. Sportsnet will also televise six Vancouver Canadians games on Sportsnet Pacific throughout the season.
“The Canadians have been instrumental in the growth of baseball in Canada, producing Blue Jays stars such as Kevin Pillar, Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez,” said Sportsnet 650 program director Craig MacEwen, in the news release. “We look forward to shining the spotlight on the game’s future stars as they begin their journey in Vancouver, and delivering world-class coverage to the city’s passionate baseball fans.”
Available on the dial at 650 AM, Sportsnet 650 is also accessible on HD Receivers at HD3 on 96.9FM, as well as on the Sportsnet app, the Radioplayer Canada app or by streaming live on Sportsnet.ca/650.
