Sportsnet East/Ontario in Ottawa region

According to many sources (cable providers' sites, satellite providers' sites, etc.), the Ottawa area is supposed to be in Sportsnet East full-time. the division line in that area is supposedly Pembroke to Belleville, ON. I showed that in the map I made, but I'm not sure if anyone here can verify that information (especially those who live in that region). Thanks. --Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK! 02:27, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Logos won't appear in gallery

OK for some reason the regional logos won't appear in the gallery that I created, here are the links for the logos on Wikipedia already uploaded, so could someone fix whatevers going no here because I have absolutly no idea, I've done everything right and it's still not working, thanks!

Those files no longer exist. Fry1989 (talk) 04:19, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

International Soccer

Will Rogers be brodcasting every confederations soccer tournament???

Have they moved yet

Can anyone confirm one way or another if Rogers has gone and moved yet from Againcourt? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alebowgm (talk • contribs) 17:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal: turn into disambiguation

We got three regional sports networks that have "sportsnet" in their name somehow, and now one of them has just shortened their name to just that. I'm starting to think that maybe the Rogers one should be moved to "Sportsnet (Canada)", and Sportsnet contain disambiguation to this, Fox Sports Net and Comcast Sportsnet too. Way to make things confusing Rogers, but we need to do something more elegant here. ViperSnake151 Talk 04:03, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of just moving this page to "Sportsnet (Canada)," I suggest a disambiguation page named "Sportsnet (disambiguation)" be created to handle this situation and to replace the hatnote that's currently at the top of the Sportsnet page. Paul Badillo (talk) 03:46, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Too many logos!

I'm planning to only keep one of the older Sportsnet logos: the third logo, the unframed "Rogers Sportsnet" logo. Here is why:

The pre-launch logo is just that, a logo that wasn't used on air for the Sportsnet channel.
The second one was short-lived, and its only difference compared to the third is a small blue "CTV" under the "net" portion, and no "ROGERS" portion.
The third logo is the most notable one. It has "ROGERS" in small print over the "spo". One variant omits the "ROGERS" part.
The fourth logo simply consists of moving the Player to the left (instead of the top), and adding a border.

Outdated?

Should we update this article a bit? DMCRunningg (talk) 16:48, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

game announcer for Family Day Flames/Jets game sounds like he has a towel thrown over the microphone while calling the game. Unusually quiet broadcasting

I suggest that Sports Net call the Flames/ Jets broadcast booth at the Sddledome and have the guy calling the game to take the towel off the microphone...tv is turned up loud and he still fades away while calling 70.73.70.165 (talk) 22:35, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
