True North Sports + Entertainment and TSN have confirmed a new multi-year broadcast rights extension, securing exclusive, long term access to regional Winnipeg Jets games.
The agreement means regional Winnipeg Jets games will continue to be available on the network to viewers in the team’s designated broadcast region, which includes Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and parts of Northwestern Ontario including Kenora, Dryden, and Thunder Bay.
“TSN has been a trusted and valued partner since our return to the NHL in 2011, and their industry-leading talent and production has helped us connect with fans across Manitoba and beyond,” said Mark Chipman, Executive Chairman & Governor, True North Sports + Entertainment, in a Bell Media announcement. “We are thrilled to extend this partnership and continue providing Jets fans with in-depth coverage, insights, and analysis across all TSN platforms.”
“The Winnipeg Jets are perennially one of hockey’s most exciting teams, and the continuation of our longstanding partnership ensures their passionate fanbase will continue to connect with TSN all season long,” added Shawn Redmond, Vice President and General Manager, Bell Media Sports. “We are grateful for the trust that True North Sports + Entertainment and the entire Jets organization has placed in TSN to continue to deliver industry-leading live coverage of the team across broadcast and live streaming platforms.”
