MONTREAL - The Montreal Impact released its complete 2012 broadcast schedule Thursday, including 22 games on TVA Sports, the club's official broadcaster, along with 12 games on RDS/TSN, the league's official broadcaster. For the first time in club history, all games will be broadcast live on television.

TVA Sports will be the main meeting point for supporters when the team is playing on the road, as it will show 14 of the 17 away matches. TVA Sports programming will be highlighted with games against DC United and last season's MLS MVP Dwayne De Rosario on April 18 at 7:30pm (ET), versus the New York Red Bulls and international star Thierry Henry on May 19 and July 28, at 7:30pm (ET), as well as all three games against the Houston Dynamo, with striker Brian Ching and Quebec defender Andre Hainault, on June 23, July 21 and October 6.

RDS and TSN will be broadcasting the Impact's very first game in MLS, against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC on March 10, at BC Place, at 6pm (ET), as well as its home opener on March 17, at 2pm (ET) against the Chicago Fire at Olympic Stadium.
