TSN has reached a multi-year partnership extension with Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS), and partner MRX Associates, making TSN the exclusive home of the Vanier Cup for the next three years.
The agreement also includes exclusive rights for the Uteck Bowl, Mitchell Bowl, and Hardy Cup.
TSN’s extension with the CIS includes all multimedia broadcast rights for the championship games along with French-language broadcast rights for RDS.
As part of the new deal, the Vanier Cup, Uteck Bowl, Mitchell Bowl, and Hardy Cup will all be broadcast live in prime time for the first-time ever. TSN will broadcast the games during its popular Friday night timeslot throughout November. The 2011 Vanier Cup airs Friday, Nov. 25 as part of TSN’s extensive Grey Cup weekend coverage.
SportsCentre, TSN.ca and TSN RADIO 1050 will complement TSN’s CIS football coverage with news and analysis surrounding the games. Also, ESPN Classic will showcase great matches from past VANIER CUPS.
