OTTAWA – The Ottawa Senators ( @Senators ), along with official broadcasters TSN and RDS, today announced their regional package of Senators games for the 2014-15 season. The announcement comes as part of Bell Media’s comprehensive 12-year partnership with the Senators reached earlier this year.

Beginning this season, 53 regular season Senators games plus pre-season matchups will be offered on TSN5 – part of TSN’s new expanded lineup of five national feeds branded TSN1, TSN2, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN5 that debut on Monday, August 25.

RDS’s suite of channels – including RDS, RDS2, and RDSInfo – delivers French-language coverage of 54 Ottawa Senators regular season games plus one pre-season matchup.

The networks’ regional Senators games will be available to TSN and RDS subscribers who live in the team’s designated broadcast region – which includes Eastern Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada.

TSN subscribers with participating television service providers in the Sens’ broadcast region will receive TSN5.

“We are excited to begin this new partnership by introducing our regional broadcast schedule to Senators fans,” said Cyril Leeder, President of Ottawa Senators. “We know that depth of programming, in both English and in French, will offer the best in coverage of our team, bringing more games to our fans and helping us grow our viewership."
