Raptors announce 2016-17 broadcast schedule

Another even Sportsnet/TSN split.

The Toronto Raptors released their broadcast schedule for the 2016-17 season on Friday. As expected, the 82-game schedule will be split evenly between TSN and Sportsnet, but you’ll need premium packages to get all 82 – while all Sportsnet broadcasts are on Sportsnet One, 24 of the 41 TSN games will appear on only some of their five channels.

Per a team release, there are no changes to the primary broadcast team (though I believe a change is coming to the TSN pre-game/halftime show):

For an 12th consecutive season all 82 Raptors telecasts will be produced by NBA TV Canada. Veteran play-by-play voice Matt Devlin will call all the action for a ninth season. “The Coach” Jack Armstrong will lend his expertise as the analyst on TSN telecasts with former NBA first-round draft pick Leo Rautins handling the colour commentary on Sportsnet.

Sportsnet 590 The FAN and TSN Radio 1050 Toronto will again be the radio home for Raptors broadcasts. Eric Smith will handle the play-by-play role for games on Sportsnet 590 The FAN with Paul Jones serving as the analyst. For games on TSN Radio 1050 Toronto, Jones will serve as the play-by-play voice with Armstrong and Sherman Hamilton sharing analyst duties.

The broadcast information is now available on the main schedule page.
