Latest News About Ottawa Senators Radio

Here’s the latest on Ottawa Senators radio, based on recent reporting and official announcements.

• French-language rights: 104.7 Outaouais became the Senators’ official French-language broadcaster for the coming seasons, in a three-year deal covering pre-season, regular season, and post-season games. This marks a shift in how French radio coverage is delivered in the Ottawa–Gatineau region. The move aligns with the team’s efforts to better serve francophone fans in the area.[2][4]

• English-language rights: The English-language radio rights with Bell Media’s TSN 1200 are approaching a contract inflection point, with questions about renewal beyond the 2025-26 season as the current agreement nears expiration. Reports and industry analysis suggest the Senators are weighing options with a preference for a sports-talk format partner if the terms are right.[1][2]

• Road-game broadcasts: For the 2025-26 season, the Senators’ English radio team will not travel on road trips, though live broadcasts of each road game will still be available to listeners. The team cited cost considerations and the ongoing broadcast-rights environment as drivers for this arrangement.[1]

• Fan and media ecosystem: Podcasts and local outlets (e.g., Sens Nation podcast) have amplified discussion around how radio coverage is evolving, including remote/remote-tinged play-by-play and the broader shift in sports radio in Ottawa.[3]

If you want, I can pull a quick comparison of the current English vs. French broadcast partner options, or summarize where each rights deal stands as of the latest announcements. Also tell me if you’d like direct links to each official announcement or to the French broadcaster (104.7 Outaouais) and the TSN 1200 pages for more detail.
