Raptors NBA TV is a Canadian English language category 2 digital cable specialty channel owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd.
Raptors NBA TV broadcasts programming related to the National Basketball Association (NBA) with an emphasis on the Toronto Raptors, as well as other basketball leagues. This includes live games during the regular season and playoffs, classic games, and other NBA-related programs. Regular hosts for shows include Paul Johnson, Sherman Hamilton, Matt Devlin, Leo Rautins and Jack Armstrong.
Much of the channel's non-Raptors programming is produced by NBA TV, which is not available as a standalone channel in Canada.
Raptors NBA TV is also responsible for producing all Raptors game telecasts, although customized graphics are used for each channel (except The Score), and studio show hosts are supplied by the applicable broadcaster. Game broadcasts are currently split between Raptors NBA TV itself, CBC, The Score, TSN and TSN2, although compressed versions of all games are repeated on the team channel. As of the 2007-08 season, all games are produced and broadcast in high definition.
