The Euro 2012 schedule is up on

(see also the pdf file linked)

First game is Poland-Greece!

I start this topic, because I was looking for the holder

of TV rights coverage of Euro 2012 in languages other

than English and French, in Canada.

The page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_201...dcasting_rights

lists the rights for many countries, including Canada,

but it does not say anything about language.

Same with

In the past, a local Canadian channel (ch 47) used to broadcast on-air

some matches with Portugese/Spanish/Italian commentary.

If anyone knows whether this holds for Euro 2012, please post.

You are referring to OMNI.TV, they are owned by Rogers and they aired World Cup matches when TSN & Rogers split coverage of the tournament. In this instance, TSN is the rightsholder for Euro 2012 and as per the info on their site they will be the only ones airing the games:

TSN and TSN2 are the exclusive home in Canada for UEFA EURO 2012 and UEFA EURO 2016.

Great news IMO, TSN has always done a great job airing the big tournaments (Euro, World Cup) so I am happy that they have secured the rights to air the next two European championships. They usually pick up the international feed instead of the feed from the American broadcaster- another plus IMO.
