Canadian UFC programming headed to new Sportsnet 360 channel

BAD MMA News — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 17:30:00 +0000

There have been many broadcasting changes around the world for the UFC of late, and Canada joins the club on Monday. Starting Monday, all of the UFC’s programming in Canada will take place on the new Sportsnet 360 channel, which launches the same day. Sportsnet, a multiplatform brand owned by Rogers Media, announced earlier this month the plans for Sportsnet 360, and recently unveiled some details about the UFC programming ticketed for the channel. On Wednesdays, Sportsnet 360 in a press release said four hours of UFC coverage is planned. “UFC Central,” “UFC Wired” and “UFC Unleashed” are programs set for that night, as well as “The Ultimate Fighter.” Expected in early 2014 is the latest international edition of the reality competition, which will pit Canadian fighters against Australian fighters. With a heavy Canadian focus, including Team Canada coach Patrick Cote , that show is expected to go over well with the often rabid Canadian fan base. The channel will have live coverage of more than 30 events, as well. Live main cards that don’t air on pay-per-view in the United States, such as FOX cards and shows on the upcoming FOX Sports 1, are likely to air at Sportsnet 360
