Oh, Canada: TSN SportsCentre HD launches today
The first HD broadcast of SportsCentre (not SportsCenter) is tonight at 6:30 EST on TSN for our friends up north. They'll finally have a fully HD studio and high-def highlights of games. Anyone who watches ESPN-HD regularly is aware of how much better it is when you can see the highlights of all the games as intended, we're glad our Canadian brethren will get a look at the latest hockey, curling and Ricky Williams clips in HD. They're calling themselves the first fully equipped high definition newsroom in Canada, on October 2nd the Molson That's Hockey daily half-hour show will also launch in HD. ESPN and Discovery led the charge to HD for many stations in the US and we expect a similar result for Canadian television.
TSN Sportscentre & CFL games in HD
Football, futbol or Canadian football, it's better in high definition, so it's certainly nice to see our neighbors to the north will be getting more of it next year. Along with every CFL game being televised, TSN (Canadian ESPN) will be showing at least 17 games in HD next year. CBC has yet to make an announcement on regular season games, but they did show last seasons Grey Cup for HDTV viewers last season, so we'll see. Also, TSN announced today that they will be switching their nightly Sportscentre program to HD in September. TSN HD will be the first Canadian broadcaster putting out daily news of any kind in high definition.
