TSN: UPDATED 9/15 - TSN will air Habs regional games on TSN2

[Adam Michaels]

I'm surprised that Mike Johnson isn't doing color. He has experience and did it for a season last time TSN had Habs rights.

And he's great. Second to Ferraro in the English side. But all languages included, Marc Denis is one of the best. Smart, articulate, well spoken, and just good analysis.

The habs region is said to be east of Kingston according to the blackout map on game center live. It sounds to me that you are on the border of the habs region, and these borders are not clearly defined. So in your case, what tsn might consider out of market is slightly different than Roger's. That sucks, man.

Thanks, I just checked the map and it says east of belleville is habs. Which would include kingston. That is what it has always been. Unless it has changed and i looked at an older map. Anyways, i've emailed tsn about it. I would recommend that others who are affected do also.

Imagine being a Habs fan and living 1 street outside the broadcast region? How awful would that be?

Or like in my case I am being discriminated due to my service provider #VideotronViewersMatter

 

[GoodKiwi]

I have a hard time believing it's the provider. If you have the channel and you live in the right area, there shouldn't be an issue. But I'm no expert in these matters.

This sounds like TSN Habs all over again.

Bell probably wants Videotron to pay extra for English Habs games and they won't. Hence the blackouts. I hope I'm wrong.

These TSN2 blackouts on Videotron have nothing to do with whether you are within the region or not.

I just checked my BellTV satellite guide and it looks like Bell added TSN2 to my current package which is good news for me. Hopefully it isn't just a free preview.

 

[Natey]

This is bullshit.

Never have I been blacked out before but now I am? 3 1/2 hours away from Montreal. Two NHL teams far closer to me than that. And I'm blacked out on TSN.

f*** TSN and f*** the NHL.

 

[CauZuki]

Mete is a beauty, Streit is a fake slapshot champion...

 

[Natey]

Ottawa game isn't blacked out though... LOL.

TSN and NHL can kiss my ass. Bless you, Reddit.

Only got to see about 6 minutes of the first.

I haven't read this thread but please tell I won't have to listen to Dave Poulin all season long? Don't get me wrong he was one hell of a defensive forward and seems very intelligent but his voice makes me want to go to sleep.

100%. Hes ok I guess on the analyst desk but what an awful choice for a colour commentator.

It should've been Mike Johnson doing color instead.

Here is the reply tsn2 sent me with regards to me being blacked out in kingston which is part of the regional broadcast area. I have yet to contact my provider today to adress it but hopefully this helps.

Well after all this escalating I've done with cogeco they said everything after first 3 games will not be blacked out. Clearly they realized they messed up

all year long
... it's John Bartlett who drives me nuts, cant stand him

really really wish we had Gord Miller or Chris Cuthbert

 

[loudi94]

Anyone in Montreal with a Bell subscription carrying TSN2 want to trade a receiver with me? I will get Habs games and you can have all the Flames and Oilers games.

I got a chuckle last night when Poulin made fun of one of Bartletts customary over pronunciations of a players name.

Zemgus Girgensons was the name

I'll bet your bills arrived in a timely fashion though. (Obviously never mind if you're paperless)

 

[montreal]

All year long? damn it! Gord Miller would be great as he's easily one of the best in the business.
