High definition television
Originally, Sportsnet operated one national feed that consisted primarily of a simulcast of Sportsnet Ontario, carrying nationally televised events, or separate content from other regional feeds. That feed was launched on September 1, 2003. In 2007, Sportsnet began utilizing a second high-definition feed in order to broadcast select Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators hockey games in HD, beginning in the 2007–08 NHL season,[1] activated only in the regions a game is to be televised. On January 26, 2009, the national HD feed was replaced by individual HD feeds for Ontario.
