EastLink Television

EastLink Television

Eastlink Television is Bragg Communications' brand for its community channels that serve Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Sackville, New Brunswick.

The channels are best known for providing weekly broadcasts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Atlantic University Sport football seasons.

Crew and Talent

Eastlink Television shows are produced by crews composed of both television professionals and community volunteers. Some programs, such as live sports events or Eastlink Magazine, will generally have more volunteers on crew than Eastlink Television employees.

Providing training and opportunities for volunteers is both a duty under the terms of Eastlink's cable license, and an opportunity to produce a wider range of programming than would be possible otherwise.

A similar situation exists for on-screen talent; sports events and Eastlink Magazine are usually fronted by Eastlink staff producers like Dan Robertson and Valerie Hould-Marchand, but most other shows make use of volunteer talent.

Original Programs

EastLink Television produces a variety of original programming. Some is specific to a particular region, and some is shown network-wide.

Friday Night Hockey - A show that broadcasts QMJHL games on the network. Most games are produced by EastLink, however, on nights when there are no games being played in Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island, EastLink picks up a feed from Rogers TV in New Brunswick.

Harv's Sportsland - A weekly hour-long talk show devoted to the world of sports.

The Q Edition - A show dedicated to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and its players and teams.
