From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bell Media holds regional television rights to the Winnipeg Jets, under a 10-year contract that began in the inaugural season (2011–12).[1] Jets games not shown by the league's national broadcast partner, Rogers Media, are televised by The Sports Network (TSN) on its regional channel TSN3 for viewers in the Jets' home region, which includes Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories (shared with the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers outside of Manitoba), and parts of Northwestern Ontario (shared with the Toronto Maple Leafs).[2] Viewers outside of the Jets' home region can view regional TSN3 broadcasts through a paid subscription for out-of-market games from the NHL or one of its broadcast partners.
