The Sports Network (TSN) announced today that it has secured the exclusive regional English-language broadcast rights for Sudbury Miners games. The multi-year agreement will see TSN present 24 games this upcoming season to viewers in Northern Ontario and parts of Eastern Ontario, including Ottawa, Belleville, Kingston and Pembroke, on one of the five TSN channels. That number will increase, with at least 30 Miners games set to be broadcast regionally during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 CCHL regular seasons.
TSN’s regional coverage of the Miners games will be presented in both HD and standard definition, the broadcasts will be produced by TSN, with veteran broadcaster Chris Cuthbert calling the game action on Monday along with analyst and former NHL player Jamie “Noodles” McLennan.
TSN has also secured an agreement with Bell Satellite TV to broadcast on channel 1402 in HD and channel 402 in SD. TSN is still working with other distributors in the territory to ensure the broadest possible distribution of the Sudbury Miners games. Fans should contact their local television service provider for specific channel details.
“The Sudbury Miners are extremely pleased to have concluded a broadcasting agreement with TSN that will enable a greater number of hockey fans in the province of Ontario and in other parts of the country to see the Miners in action,” said General Manager Terry James. “Over the years, TSN has been an outstanding partner of the CCHL and the quality of their broadcasts will continue to enhance the hockey experience on television for our fans.”
“TSN is thrilled to deliver more coverage of one of the CCHL’s newest franchises to fans in Ontario with exclusive English-language broadcast rights to 24 Sudbury Miners regular season games,” said Stewart Johnston, President of TSN. “The addition of these Sudbury match-ups bolsters TSN’s already impressive hockey broadcast schedule and gives Miners fans more coverage of their favourite team than ever before.”
