List of Winnipeg Jets broadcasters

Bell Media holds regional television and radio rights to the Winnipeg Jets, under a 10-year contract that began in the inaugural season (2011–12).[1] Jets games not shown by the league's national broadcast partner, Rogers Media, are televised by The Sports Network (TSN) on its regional channel TSN3 for viewers in the Jets' home region, which includes Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories (shared with the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers outside of Manitoba), and parts of Northwestern Ontario (shared with the Toronto Maple Leafs).[2] Viewers outside of the Jets' home region can view regional TSN3 broadcasts through a paid subscription for out-of-market games from the NHL or one of its broadcast partners.

Radio

Radio broadcasts are carried by local sports talk station TSN Radio 1290 (CFRW). Paul Edmonds handles radio play-by-play duties radio alongside Brian Munz. They are occasionally joined by Beyak, who takes over radio play-by-play when TSN3 is not involved in the television broadcast. Munz also substitutes for Beyak on TSN3 when the latter is away on other assignments.[2]
