Regional Feeds
Rogers Sportsnet operates in a similar manner to a regional sports network in the United States, with four regional feeds airing different sporting events tailored to the region they serve. The four regional feeds are:
- Sportsnet East, which serves Eastern Ontario (defined as east of an imaginary line stretching from Pembroke in the north to Belleville in the south), Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
- Sportsnet Ontario, which serves all of Ontario excluding the region served by Sportsnet East.
- Sportsnet West, which serves Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories.
- Sportsnet Pacific, which serves British Columbia and the Yukon.
All four feeds are available in both standard and high definition formats.
Although cable companies in Canada are permitted to carry only the local Sportsnet feed on analogue cable packages, all four feeds can be carried on digital television services. However, in some instances, programming on the out-of-market Sportsnet feeds, such as regional NHL games, are blacked out.

Famous quotes containing the word feeds:
“Praise to Christ who feeds the hungry, frees the captive, finds the lost,
Heals the sick, upsets religion, fearless both of fate and cost.
Celebrate Christ’s constant presence—Friend and Stranger, Guest and Host.”
—The Iona Community (founded 1938)
