Curling on TSN

Curling on TSN

TSN's coverage of Curling consists of the Canadian Curling Association, Continental Cup of Curling, the TSN Skins Game, the World Curling Championships, and Olympic Curling.

Canadian Curling Association

TSN originally broadcasted Canadian Curling Association events, including the opening rounds of the Tim Hortons Brier, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts from 1984-2003. CBC Sports, who had previously shared rights with TSN, became the sole broadcaster of CCA tournaments in 2004. The CCA terminated their deal with the CBC after one season. The CBC was criticized by the CCA, curling fans, and sponsors after the network moved some of its coverage to the digital cable channel CBC Country Canada. [1] In 2006, the CCA and TSN signed an exclusive six-year contract which would take effect in 2008, ending CBC's 42 year relationship with the CCA. [2]

Broadcasters

Vic Rauter, Linda Moore, and Russ Howard currently make up TSN's lead announcing team. [3] From 1989-2010, Rauter and Moore's broadcast partner was Ray Turnbull. Prior to Moore's arrival, Rauter and Turnbull had previously called matches with Vera Pezer. [4] Don Chevrier and Ray Turnbull made up TSN's first broadcast team, calling matches from 1984-1985. Bryan Mudryk and Cathy Gauthier currently serve as TSN's secondary broadcast team for the Tim Hortons Brier and the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

Other broadcasters TSN have used for curling include Rod Black, John Wells, and Glenn Healy.
