  • NFL Network, the first 24-hour, seven-day-a-week television network dedicated solely to the NFL, was launched this week by Access Communications.

    Access customers in Regina with a digital cable package will automatically receive NFL Network on channel 98 at no additional cost. This is in addition to the 3 SportsNet Regional channels and 40 commercial-free music channels the co-operative’s digital customers already enjoy at no charge.

    “Sports fans are a passionate group ¿ especially football fans. When NFL Network launched in the US in 2024, we immediately heard from our customers that this was a channel they wanted and we delivered,” commented Access Vice President, Marketing Rick Fraser. “Now that the channel has been licensed for distribution in Canada and made available to us through our signal supplier, we are very pleased to be able to not only offer it ¿ but to include it at no additional charge to our digital customers.”

    Access Communications Co-operative Limited is the 7th largest cable television provider in Canada. It also provides Internet and wireless cellular services to subscribers across Saskatchewan.

    Operating seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, NFL Network is a destination for all that happens around the league, on and off the field – during the season and throughout the off-season. The passion, the excitement, the highs and the lows ¿ are covered by NFL Network from an “insider’s” perspective.
