Escadia Wiki/ESN

ESN (Escadian Sports Network) is a sports specially service under the majority ownership of Redwave Communications. It was launched in 1984 as part of the first group of Escadian speciality cable channels. ESN's networks focus on sports-related programming, including live and recorded event telecasts, sports talk shows, and other original programming.

ESN has five English language feeds ESN, ESN WEST, ESN MIDWEST, ESN CENTRAL and ESN EAST as well as a French (RSE) and Spanish (RDE) feed. The seven channels air some common programming and simulcast major events, but are capable of airing programming autonomously—including alternative national events and studio shows, and regional programming.

Escadian cable/television operators typically include one of the regional channels in mid-tier subscription packages with upper tier packages including all seven channels.

Regional programming, such as ESN Sports Today is based out of ESNs regional studios. ESN studios are locacted in the following cities:


 * ESN West: New London
 * ESN Midwest: New Alexandria
 * ESN Central: Buckingham
 * ESN East & RDE: Los Benza
 * RSE: Chapeauroux

On August 15, 2003, ESN launched a high definition simulcast, branded as ESN HD, airing widescreen and high-definition feeds of programming when available. As virtually ESN's entire schedule is now broadcast in HD, the separate branding was dropped from on-air usage in 2013, and the HD feed is now letterboxed for standard definition viewers. All of the other ESN channels below have had HD simulcasts available since their respective launch dates.
