TSN2 (SD & HD), which has apparently been free on Rogers, will have the free preview end August 18. This is now stated on the IPG. I assume that it will stay for those on VIP.

Well the last major holdout, Videotron has added TSN2 and TSN2 HD today. Here is the press release from TSN

TSN confirmed that Videotron has launched TSN2 and TSN2 HD today – making the channels and its schedule of sports programming available to their subscribers in Quebec.

With the addition of Videotron, TSN2 is now available on all major television service providers across Canada in both standard and high definition.

Since its launch in August 2008, TSN2 has experienced an impressive period of rapid growth, and is now available in more than 4.5 million Canadian homes.

In addition to its distribution growth, BBM Canada data confirms that TSN2 is now the top-ranked digital sports channel in Canada with an average audience that is higher than all other digital sports channels combined. TSN2 regularly generates audiences that outdraw some of its long-established competitors.

“There has been an incredible level of demand for TSN2 and we are thrilled that sports fans have been so passionate about acquiring the service. In a relatively short period of time TSN2 has become one of the ‘must have’ channels for sports fans,” says Phil King, President of TSN. “With Videotron now on board we have coverage across the country for TSN2.”
