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.

I just read with interest Carl Mrozek’s article on the Red Ray DVD player unveiled at the ‘Red’ event in Las Vegas (Playback, June 22).
