As I've mentioned in a couple other threads similar to TSN2 this channel will be launched on their home network (this one being Rogers, TSN2 being Bell) and then the rights will be given to other companies as they come to an agreement.

Expect Shaw, Bell & Telus to get these channels but not today, maybe not for another month or so, but expect it to be live on all them by the start of the hockey season.

Rogers was the last company to carry TSN2 in Canada. 'Bell' and Rogers couldn't come to an agreement because Rogers wanted to carry the channel for free but Bell was not moving on their stance on including it in with TSN. Now I'm curious if Rogers will give this new channel to Bell for free, only seems fair doesn't it?
