Bell Media congratulates TSN and RDS founder Gordon Craig on being named to the Order of Canada for his pioneering contributions to sports broadcasting and for his dedication to the Canadian television industry. Will Barton Nuggets Jersey . The Order of Canada is one of Canada’s highest civilian honours, recognizing a lifetime of outstanding achievement and service to the nation. Craig joins an impressive list of Canadians named to the Order of Canada this month including Bell CEO George Cope, who was named a recipient for his leadership in corporate social responsibility, particularly in the area of mental health, and for his contributions to the telecommunications industry. “On behalf of everyone from TSN, RDS and the Bell Media family, I’d like to congratulate Gordon and his family on this tremendous honour,” said Phil King, President - CTV, Sports, and Entertainment Programming. “As the visionary behind TSN and RDS, Gordon revolutionized the way Canadians consume sports. It is because of Gordon’s work that millions of sports fans across the country are able to be a part of so many significant moments in Canadian sports history. A friend and a personal mentor of mine, Gordon’s innovation, unbridled passion, and leadership has inspired a generation of Canadian broadcasters.” Already an accomplished sports producer, Craig left a successful career at the CBC to help create Canada’s first 24-hour all-sports television network. On September 1, 1984, The Sports Network – TSN – debuted, giving Canadians access to full day sports programming for the first time in the nation’s history. Craig expanded the network under the NetStar Communications umbrella with the launch of the 24-hour French language sports network Réseau des sports (RDS), as well as Discovery Channel Canada. Craig was also instrumental in founding the award-winning production company Dome Productions. For the past 30 years, Craig’s leading sports brands have brought Canadians thousands of memorable events from the professional and amateur sports world. Widely regarded as a pioneer in specialty sports television, Craig has hired and mentored some of the most prominent members of the Canadian broadcast media landscape, including Rick Brace, Phil King, Gerry Frappier, Paul Lewis, Michael Landsberg, Stewart Johnston, Rod Smith, Mark Milliere, Paul Graham, Vic Rauter, Mary Ellen Carlyle, Gord Cutler, Buck Martinez, John Wells, Scott Moore, Keith Pelley, Paul Romanuk and Jim Hughson among others. Craig’s leadership and broadcast innovations have won praise and accolades from across the broadcast industry including a Lifetime Achievement acknowledgement from the Gemini Awards, and Sports Media Canada’s Career Achievement Award. He has also been inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame. Earlier this year, Craigs granddaughter Kyla Craig interviewed her grandfather in celebration of the networks 30th anniversary during her summer internship at TSN. When asked if he could start the network all over again and do something differently, the elder Craig replied, “Not a thing.” The full interview is available at TSN BarDown. Tyler Lydon Jersey .

The sixth-seeded pair, who beat the Americans last week in the Madrid Masters final, needed one hour 39 minutes to complete the semifinal victory at the Foro Italico. "Today we were fortunate," said Nestor. "It was a tight match with both teams playing well. We both had chances but we found a way to win today. "It seems that against the Bryans right now, we can play our best against them when we have to." Nestor and Zimonjic will play an unseeded duo on Sunday. Robin Haase of the Netherlands and Spains Feliciano Lopez were to play Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov and Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic in the late semifinal. Either way, it will be a first career meeting for the veteran duo of Nestor and Zimonjic. "Both teams are very danngerous, and weve struggled against teams we dont know much about," said Nestor.
