MLB TEAM MEDIA NOTES: BLUE JAYS INK TSN DEAL

          The Blue Jays and TSN have officially signed a cable-TV
     deal for the next five years, according to Marty York of the
     Toronto GLOBE & MAIL.  The deal is "not as lucrative" for
     the team as the previous five-year deal with TSN, as sources
     put the deal at C$45M.  The last contract was worth C$50M. 
     The deal gives TSN the rights to broadcast 400 regular-
     season games, 80 each season (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 2/28). 
          ROCKIES: The Rockies and Fox Sports Rocky Mountain
     (FSR) announced a deal that will make FSR the Rockies' TV
     home "basically for ten years," according to Todd Phipers of
     the DENVER POST.  Rockies VP/Business Ops Keli McGregor said
     that the deal is "basically" for ten years, although there
     is an escape clause after five years.  Starting this season,
     all Rockies telecasts will be produced by Mountain Mobile, a
     production company co-owned by FSR, Colorado Studios and
     Ascent, whose Avalanche and Nuggets also have cable deals
     with FSR (Todd Phipers, DENVER POST, 2/27).
