Rogers Sportsnet is now the exclusive broadcaster of Toronto Blue Jays games, with all 162 games of the 2010 season to be shown on the network.

An agreement between the Blue Jays, Rogers Sportsnet and TSN was announced Thursday that will transfer 25 games to Rogers Sportsnet that were originally to be broadcast on TSN or TSN2.

Just letting everyone know.

Odd... Sounds like TSN didn't want the games.

Poker probably gets higher ratings.

Doesn't seem likely.

So TSN and Rogers Sportsnet have put the final touches on a plan that will see Sportsnet take over TSN’s current inventory of 25 Blue Jays 2010 games, and all games in the future.

Technically, the Blue Jays bought back the games from TSN, allowing its Rogers sister company Sportsnet to spread the entire 162-game Blue Jays broadcast inventory over its four regional channels and its new Sportsnet Extra channel – which was licensed by the CRTC in January and could start broadcasting this summer. TSN now gets the weekly Sunday Night major league game of the week as part of the shuffle.

This doesn't really matter to me personally, but it is another indicator of TSN's continuing slide into hockey oblivion.

I wish CBC still covered some games so then I could actually watch a game at my place instead of having to go to a bar. I do have a flex pack though so I can't complain too much.

Anyone have suggestions for watching online? My understanding is that Jays games through MLB.tv are blacked out within Canada, similar to Raps games on League pass. Anyone know if this related to the CRTC or the specific tv contracts ?

Another kick in the pants for the Jays. TSN is the sports leader and they don't want the Jays. How much effort will they put into highlights now that they don't care for the Jays.

Too bad CBC doesn't have any games this season or else i could have watched them in HD over the antenna.

There must be an industrial hockey league somewhere that is about to get an exponential boost in importance at TSN.

Are these games on tv?? I'm with Cogeco in Oakville and the last couple of days I can't find the game on tv. 162 games on Sportsnet, yet we have poker on all Sportsnet channels?!?!

The games aren't broadcast on Cogeco...

For everyone else, these are the channels if you can't find it on Sportsnet.

If you have Rogers cable SD - 204 or 385, and for HD - 501

If you have Bell tv SD- 398, and HD - 1398.

If you have Cable cable SD - 88 and HD - 232.

If you have Shaw Direct SD - 479, and HD - 262.

If you have Shaw Cable SD - 326 and HD is 318.

I think it has more to do with Rogers wanted to own all of the games of their own team, and TSN not really seeing the benefit in showing games owned by their main competition.

Thus, TSN has now picked up the Sunday Night Baseball instead.

I think the Score should get some games.

Also, I think they should update the scoring line.

off topic but isn't it weird how Sportsnet spends so much time talking about hockey, yet I have barely seen any NHL games on their channels (did they even have any NHL games this season?).

The game vs. Minnesota on Monday, May 17 will be shown on an alternate channel because of a schedule conflict with the Memorial Cup.

Apparently after tonights game there will still be about 9 more games this year on Rogers preview channels because of scheduling conflicts with Sportsnet
I guess Cogeco just sucks?

They had 15 or so Leafs games, plus a lot of Ottawa games that were "regional blackouts". I think they had a bunch of Vancouver and Calgary that were blacked out too.

Cogeco can suck for baseball at times yeah... I just don't understand how a company that owns the team (Rogers) can have a conflict on it's own network? You would think they would put Jays first all summer long.
