It is available in 2.5 million homes, and is owned by CTV Specialty Television Inc. (Bell Media 80% and ESPN 20%). Its full name (usually prefaced in speech by the French article "le") translates as "The Sports Network", the name of its Anglophone counterpart, TSN. History September 1, 1989–1990s RDS was launched on September 1, 1989, as a sister network to Labatt's highly successful English-language sports network TSN, but the new network initially was run on a low budget and struggled to obtain rights to major professional sporting events. Despite this, RDS became infamous in its early years for its program '' Défi Mini-Putt'', a weekly miniature golf program best known for its energetic commentator Serge Vleminckx, and his enthusiastic cries of "Birdie!" when a hole in one was scored. By the early 1990s, the network became more established, obtaining ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

TSN2
TSN2 is a Canadian English language sports specialty channel that acts as the secondary feed of sports-centred channel The Sports Network (TSN) and owned by CTV Specialty Television Inc. It was launched in its current form on August 29, 2008. Following TSN's August 2014 expansion of its service into a regional sports network, TSN2 served primarily as a secondary outlet for national programming, but added regional programming in 2017. History The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) had approved a separate TSN2 channel in 2000, but was never launched due to a prohibition on live programming. The authority for this channel expired in 2004 and was never re-applied for, so the present TSN2 is not directly connected to the 2000 licence. TSN2 operates under the same CRTC licence for TSN as a whole, but initially operated under the legal fiction that it was a timeshift channel of TSN for Western Canada. This meant that the majority of programming must hav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
