In Montreal, do they have ESPN and ESPN 2 on cable? Or do they just have TSN?

Question

I am going to Montreal this upcoming weekend.... and I want to watch the Yankees vs the Red Sox ... All of the games will be on ESPN or ESPN 2...will they have it it? Or will they just be replaying 80's hokcey games

Answer 1

No city in Canada gets any of the ESPN networks as part of a cable package. Even our satellite companies don't offer it, and the only time I've watched it here in Canada is on an illegal DirecTV hookup at a friend's house.

Besides the English-language TSN, you'll also likely get their French sister channel, RDS. You'll also get at least one Rogers Sportsnet channel.

The bad news, though, is that it doesn't look like any of the games are going to be broadcast here. Coverage like this is why many of us shell out the dollars for the Extra Innings package - otherwise, we're stuck with only the Jays all year!

I've lived in both countries, and I can tell that you that TSN does NOT broadcast all the games on ESPN.

Edit - Looks like the Friday and Sunday's game are on Rogers, but not Saturday's game. Here's their complete baseball schedule:

Answer 2

Well, I was in Ottawa a couple of weeks ago, and they only have TSN. The good news is, all the games that are shown on ESPN are shown on TSN. I'm pretty sure that you wont be able to see any of the games on ESPN2. Montreal has the same cable... i think

Answer 3

The games will be broadcast on Rogers Sportsnet. I don't know the channel number.
They also have RDS, but no ESPN. ESPN owns TSN.

i`m not sure
