Sports Centre
SportsCentre is a sports news program airing on the Canadian network TSN. As TSN's flagship program, it airs several times daily, and beginning in the 2008 season it also began to be aired on sister network CTV as its post-game program for early NFL games.
The program was known as SportsDesk until September 5, 2001, where as a result of a minority stake in TSN being acquired by ESPN, the program was re-launched under a similar look and format to ESPN's flagship sportscast SportsCenter, with the title rendered in Canadian spelling. It also uses the current ESPN SportsCenter theme.
On September 25, 2006, SportsCentre began broadcasting in High Definition (HD). At that time, TSN expressed hopes to have all reports from its bureaus in HD in the near future.
TSN has gradually increased the length and, in some cases, repetition of SportsCentre broadcasts such that the channel now typically carries the program for up to 13.5 hours out of the day (including the "morning loop" repeats of the previous night's 1:00am ET edition), while TSN2 typically airs repeats of either SportsCentre or SportsCentre Morning Rush for a total of nine hours a day.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or centre:
“It was so hard to pry this door open, and if I mess up I know the people behind me are going to have it that much harder. Because then there’s living proof. They can sit around and say, “See? It doesn’t work.” I don’t want to be their living proof.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
“Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
And in that state, the glass is a pool.
Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
