Canadian broadcasters to cover Euro 2008

Canadian cable television sports channels The Sports Network (TSN) and Rogers Sportsnet (Sportsnet) have agreed to jointly televise live all 31 matches from Euro 2008.

TSN will show 16 matches, including one semi-final and the final, and has sublicensed the other 15 matches to Sportsnet. All matches and pre- and post-match shows will be available in High-Definition.

The two broadcasters will share personnel and studio space for pre- and post-match shows, and have also partnered on a website for the tournament, which will be accessible via TSN.ca and Sportsnet.ca, and will feature pre- and post-match video reports, stats, results and schedules.

TSN and Sportsnet have had previous joint-coverage agreements for the Canada/Russia Super Series junior hockey event and the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
