Latest News About Ottawa Senators Radio

Here’s the latest around Ottawa Senators radio as of now.

• English radio rights uncertainty: Reports in 2025 indicated changes to the Senators’ English-language radio coverage, including their road-game broadcast plans and a looming renewal of the Bell Media TSN 1200 deal. This suggests the team is exploring or negotiating options for English-language play-by-play beyond the existing arrangement. These developments could affect where and how fans hear live game broadcasts in the Ottawa region.[1][2]

• French radio expansion: In 2025, the Senators announced a French-language broadcast partner in the Ottawa-Gatineau region with 104.7 Outaouais, covering all preseason, regular season, and playoffs for three years. This strengthens accessibility for francophone fans in the area.[2]

• Fan and podcast coverage: Independent and team-aligned media (including Sens Nation podcast and other Ottawa-based hockey outlets) have discussed the broadcasting shifts, including the impact on fan experience and the potential future of sports radio in Ottawa. These sources provide context on how listeners are adapting to changes in live radio coverage.[3][1]

• Where to listen now: In the meantime, fans in Ottawa can still access Senators broadcasts through existing platforms like TSN 1200 for English content where available, SiriusXM channels for national/streamed play-by-play, and French-language streams via 104.7 Outaouais. Availability may vary by season and contract terms.[5][10][2]
