OTTAWA (February 19, 2014) – Bell Media’s TSN Radio 1200 in Ottawa and the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group today announced a multi-year agreement that makes TSN 1200 the new radio home of the Canadian Football League’s Ottawa REDBLACKS and the Ottawa Fury FC of the North American Soccer League. Both teams join their respective leagues this year.
This deal also extends TSN 1200’s radio rights to the Ottawa 67’s, continuing to make the station the official voice of the city’s Ontario Hockey League team over the coming years.
As part of this multi-year agreement, TSN 1200 will deliver live coverage of all games, as well as pre- and post-game shows for the REDBLACKS, Fury FC, and the 67’s.
“It’s a great day for fans of Ottawa football, soccer, and hockey,” said Jeff Hunt, President, OSEG Sports. “TSN 1200’s comprehensive live sports coverage includes excellence in play-by-play, as well as player profiles and interviews throughout game day. This partnership is going to help build strong relationships between our players and the fans, and I’m really excited about it.”
“We are thrilled to become the exclusive new home of the Ottawa REDBLACKS and the Ottawa Fury FC, complementing our proud, long-standing partnership with the Ottawa 67’s,” said Richard Gray, Regional Vice-President/General Manager, Radio/TV, Northern and Eastern Ontario/Maritimes, Bell Media. “On top of live game action, Ottawa’s passionate sports fans can expect TSN 1200 to continue focusing on the local sports scene like no other station in the city.”
In addition to all pre-season, regular season, and playoff game broadcasts, TSN 1200 will be joined by Ottawa REDBLACKS players for weekly ‘quarterback club’ sessions, held live and on location across the city.
TSN 1200 is available on AM 1200 in the greater Ottawa area, on TSN1200.ca, and on the TSN app.
