The Sports Network, or TSN, is operated by CTV Television, in partnership with ESPN from the United States.  Prior to the acquisition of NetStar by CTV, to gain this ownership position in TSN, The Sports Network was located at its own broadcasting facilities on Sheppard Avenue in Toronto.  Today, it is part of the CTV Broadcast Centre facilities in Agincourt, Ontario.
