COMMON SENS: CTV INKS THREE-YEAR DEAL TO AIR SENATORS GAMES

          CTV SportsNet (CTV) has reached a three-year English-
     language exclusive cable agreement with the Senators to
     broadcast 20 games a season.  CTV, which will launch in
     October, will air up to 20 regular season Senators games a
     season in the East Region for the next three seasons, and
     will have the option to carry up to four of the team's
     exhibition games (CTV/Senators).  Financial terms of the
     Senators' CTV deal were not disclosed.  In Ottawa, Allen
     Penzeri reported that the deal will not affect the team's
     local programming, currently carried by CHRO, but open for
     bidding at the end of the season (OTTAWA CITIZEN, 5/3).
