TSN flagship news show Sportscentre recently flaunted a new look, as the sportscaster marked its 25th anniversary with a series of events, including a commemorative site and classic promos from its early days. As part of the makeover, Sportscentre features a newly enhanced HD graphics package with the focus on sports highlights and updates. TSN will also air retro promos such as its ‘Rodsky and Dutch’ segment throughout September, while online initiatives include photo galleries, timelines and sports trivia at tsn.ca/tsn25.

The specialty has enjoyed significant growth since it launched in 1984, with a subscriber base that ballooned from 323,000 to nine million subscribers at present – despite the arrival of competitors The Score and Rogers Sportsnet in the 1990s.
