We have a major last-minute announcement, a joint statement from TSN, RDS, and the Montreal Canadiens. It concerns the broadcasting rights for the Canadiens' games on RDS.
For several years now, people have been wondering where the Canadiens' games would be broadcast starting in 2026. Will they all be on TVA Sports? Could they move to Radio-Canada? Could they move online (Amazon and others)? Would they stay on RDS, with Pierre Houde and Marc Denis?
Well, we finally have our answer!
The Montreal Canadiens will remain on RDS for several more years!
What fantastic news for RDS and TSN!
What fantastic news for Pierre Houde, who seemed worried about this in a recent interview. But Montreal Canadiens hockey is staying on RDS!
