TVA Sports
TVA Sports is a French-language sports cable network based in Quebec. It was launched in September 2011 as the first direct competitor to Réseau des sports; it added a second channel in 2014.
TVA Sports is the property of Groupe TVA, which originated from the first privately-owned television station in Quebec. It was the network's first real foray into sports, which were until then the monopoly of Société Radio-Canada and RDS. One of its major properties, in addition to its bread-and-butter hockey coverage, is the live broadcast, in French, of Toronto Blue Jays games. It has used long-time Montreal Expos broadcasters Jacques Doucet and Rodger Brulotte to describe the games from a studio in Montreal, QC; other analysts on baseball telecasts have included former major leaguer Derek Aucoin and minor leaguer Karl Gélinas. TVA Sports broadcasts other major league games when the Blue Jays are idle and split playoff broadcasts with its rival RDS.
