TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are returning to CBC after a four-year absence.
The public broadcaster has signed a two-year deal with the team and will air eight games this season and between 20 and 30 games in 2008.
CBC last carried the Jays in 2002, airing 15 games.
"We are very excited to have CBC returning as a television broadcaster for Toronto Blue Jays games," Blue Jays president Paul Godfrey said in a statement. "Our organizations have a long history together dating back to 1977 when the CBC was our original broadcaster."
CBC will carry its first game this season on June 23 when the Colorado Rockies visit the Rogers Centre.
TSN and Rogers Sportsnet also broadcast Jays games.
