TORONTO (October 22, 2025) – Bell Media, in partnership with Environics Analytics (EA), announced the launch of its new Outcomes Measurement solution for TV campaigns. This measurement product will give advertisers a clear, comprehensive, and privacy-first way to connect ad exposure to real-world outcomes including sales, leads, spend, and more.

By combining Bell’s premium First Party Data, fuelled by 22 million customer connections across more than eight million Canadian households, with EA clean room technology, advertisers can now accurately measure the return on ad spend (ROAS) of their TV campaigns. This new capability complements Bell Attribution Insights (BAI), which already enables advertisers to measure how TV drives website traffic via Strategic Audience Management (SAM).

“Bell Media and EA continue to partner on effective solutions for advertisers to assess the true bottom-line impact of their campaigns,” said Sean Cohan, President, Bell Media. “With Outcomes Measurement, we are delivering the proof advertisers need to show that their media dollars drive measurable results, from sales lift to campaign drivers and audience insights.”

“This is an innovative step forward for measurement products as it will help drive real-world results that the industry expects,” said Jan Kestle, President, Environics Analytics. “EA’s made-for-Canada approach to secure data collaboration means advertisers can now gain actionable insights that will help them optimize their budgets and improve performance of future TV campaigns.”

In an early pilot campaign with Air Canada, audiences exposed to ads on Bell Media’s TV channels had a 24% higher booking rate than those who weren’t exposed, demonstrating how Sales Outcomes Reports connect campaign exposure to real conversion behaviour.

“We're pleased to see continued innovation in campaign measurement from Bell Media that helps advertisers better understand the impact of their TV investments," said Raymond Ludwin, Managing Director, Promotional Marketing, Air Canada. "As the media landscape evolves, having access to reliable measurement solutions that connect advertising exposure to business outcomes is increasingly important for making informed decisions."

How Bell Media and EA connect the dots

Advertisers provide their own transactional or conversion data. EA securely matches this with Bell Media’s TV exposure data to produce a comprehensive attribution report, all within a privacy-compliant clean room environment. EA can also provide outcome metrics or foot traffic from its own MobileScapes solution. These insights reveal what worked, with whom, and by how much, helping advertisers act on outcomes.

Benefits for advertiser

 	Close the loop: Link real-world results directly to TV campaign exposure
 	Measure ROAS and sales lift: Know how many ad-exposed customers made a purchase or took an action
 	Optimize media: Use actionable insights to adjust future campaigns
 	Privacy-first: Secure data sharing, powered by world-class clean room technology and identity solutions

The Outcomes Measurement report is available now for linear TV campaigns and will soon expand to select pools of inventory on Connected TV and Connected TV Live. The Outcomes Measurement reports are part of Bell Media’s evolving suite of outcomes-focused solutions.

As the new series BOSTON BLUE begins, and various iconic Boston landmarks are shown, an appropriate sing-along song blares: “The Boys Are Back” by Dropkick Murphys.

If the lyrics are to be believed, “the boys are back, and they’re lookin’ for trouble.” Well, Danny Reagan, played by Donnie Wahlberg, is definitely back, and while it’s uncertain if Danny ever actually looks for trouble, he regularly has a way of finding it.

Premiering Friday, Oct. 17 at 10 p.m. ET on CTV, CTV.ca and the CTV app, and streaming next day on Crave, BOSTON BLUE is a spinoff of the enduringly popular BLUE BLOODS, which occupied the same time slot on Friday nights on CTV for 14 seasons.

“We are incredibly excited about this show, and cannot wait to share it with the world,” Wahlberg said in a media conference. “We look forward to bringing faith, family, and tradition back to television on Friday nights at 10 p.m.”

Wahlberg is reprising his role as Danny Reagan from BLUE BLOODS, which was a family police drama set in New York. The twist in BOSTON BLUE is that Danny is presented with a compelling family reason to relocate to Beantown, even though he’s leaving behind the comfort of his widespread law-enforcement clan in the Big Apple.

The irony for Wahlberg personally is that he is famously from Boston, but he spent a decade and a half shooting BLUE BLOODS in New York.

“I was very comfortable in New York, I will say that – as a Bostonian, that's not an easy thing to say,” Wahlberg said with a chuckle. “Acting in the streets of New York, it became just a joy of mine every day on BLUE BLOODS. I can't tell you how much fun I had, no matter what neighbourhood, no matter what borough, I always had a great time. But you know, there is a fish-out-of-water element to this show, and for Danny, he is in a new place, he's used to doing things a certain way, and now he has people who push back on him, and say, ‘yeah, you can't do that,’ Generally he kind of gets his way, but now it's different. So I've indulged the differences.”

Wahlberg added, “in terms of working in Boston, we're filming in Toronto and Boston, and I can tell you, they're both a joy. But they're both taking some getting used to. I have never shot a series in Boston like this. I've never had to navigate all my relatives showing up, and people showing up … ”

Wahlberg then fell back into the hardcore Boston accent of his youth, and yelled, “Donnie, take a picture with me! Donnie, who’s your paaartnaaa?’ ”

The “partner” in question is Detective Lena Silver, played by Sonequa Martin-Green (STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, THE WALKING DEAD). Lena is part of a prominent Boston law-enforcement family that rivals the Reagans in terms of sheer numbers.

"I was very familiar with the M5 when I was shooting walkers (on THE WALKING DEAD), and (on STAR TREK: DISCOVERY) my gun was a phaser, and it could be on stun or kill, but I have never dealt with a Glock," said Martin-Green, referring to the weaponry in BOSTON BLUE. "I have definitely had to get accustomed to being on the ground, pun intended, and be this sort of real person. Not like Captain Michael Burnham (Martin-Green's character on STAR TREK: DISCOVERY) is not a real person, in a sense, but it is different. Like Donnie was just saying, I've been embracing the differences, not having to have such a rigid spine, if you will, and not having to save the actual universe all the time."

One refreshing element of the relationship between Danny Reagan and Lena Silver is that while they obviously have differences – which are played up for comic effect – they don’t fall into the cop-show cliché of constant bickering. It doesn’t take Danny and Lena long to recognize each other’s value, as both people and professionals.

"That's one of the things that sparked us both, me and Donnie, something that we both saw in the story, that there is this kindredness between the two," Martin-Green agreed. "They're from two very different places, but they're both from these law-enforcement families, and they both understand faith and family and tradition, they share in that. They sort of see themselves in each other. They understand each other. We thought that was so special, and something that we haven't really seen a lot in (police) partnerships, especially in budding partnerships in the beginning. We thought, what a lovely thing to have these people immediately connect, to have them immediately trust each other, and immediately respect each other."

In terms of overall respect, Wahlberg has high goals for BOSTON BLUE.

“I can tell you, from 14 years on BLUE BLOODS, I've met thousands of law-enforcement families, or people from law-enforcement families, who've said how much that show meant to them, and how much it means to see families like theirs represented on TV,” he said. “There are thousands of unique families all around our country, but having the chance to continue telling the story of a new law-enforcement family, it's a tremendous honour, and hopefully BOSTON BLUE lands with all of those law-enforcement families the same way BLUE BLOODS did.”

But when Rory’s attention turns from dreams of private school and Harvard to thoughts of boys and adolescent self-reliance, single mom Lorelai begins noticing more of her own rebellious youth – only 16 years ago – in Rory. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the hit series, all seven seasons of GILMORE GIRLS are available for streaming on Crave, Friday, October 17.

MONTREAL (October 10, 2025) – TSN, RDS, and the Montreal Canadiens announced today a landmark, long-term partnership ensuring Canada’s Sports Leaders remain home to Montreal Canadiens regional broadcasts for years to come. Under the new agreement, Montreal Canadiens matchups continue to be available to subscribers located in the team’s designated broadcast region on TSN, RDS, and streaming live through the networks digital platforms, featuring 50 games on TSN and 45 on RDS. 

“We've been fortunate to count TSN and RDS as valued partners for many years, and we're thrilled to formally extend this collaboration for years to come. Whether through live games or shoulder programming, this will allow fans to enjoy their Canadiens in a host of forms with industry-best production," said France Margaret Bélanger, President, Groupe CH Sports and Entertainment.  

“The Montreal Canadiens are an iconic franchise with a dynamic roster of exciting young stars, and one of the most passionate fanbases in all of sports. With this new long-term agreement in place, we look forward to continuing to bring Canadiens games to TSN and RDS subscribers,” said Shawn Redmond, VP, Bell Media Sports. “We have built a strong and successful partnership with the Canadiens, and these regional broadcasts are a key element of TSN and RDS’s hockey programming. We thank the Canadiens organization for the trust they continue to place in our team to provide the very best live coverage for their fans.” 

 Viewers get an exclusive look behind-the-scenes of the iconic franchise with Crave’s THE REBUILD: INSIDE THE MONTREAL CANADIENS. Following its launch, it became the most successful documentary series in Quebec as well as Canada for 2024, and also ranked among Crave’s Top 5 non-fiction titles in both French and English. The current six-episode second season follows the team throughout the 2024-25 season, from hitting the bottom of the standings to rising to clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Available in French with narration by Marc-André Grondin, and in English voiced by George Stroumboulopoulos. 

 TSN’s regional Montreal Canadiens games continue to be available on TSN2, TSN.ca, and the TSN app to TSN subscribers in the team’s designated broadcast region as defined by the NHL, which includes Québec and Atlantic Canada. 

In addition to Montreal Canadiens regional broadcasts, TSN and RDS provide Ottawa Senators matchups, with TSN also delivering coverage of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets. TSN and RDS are also the prime destination for industry-leading NHL news, information, and specials featuring the networks’ all-star team of Hockey Insiders and experts, including TRADECENTRE, FREE AGENT FRENZY, TSN HOCKEY SEASON PREVIEW, TOP 50 PLAYERS, TSN HOCKEY DRAFT RANKING, and more.
