AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — For those who can’t get enough of the Masters, Augusta National is providing even more coverage this year. Its new deal with Prime Video will include a stats-driven broadcast of Amen Corner.

The Masters released its broadcast schedule Thursday for the April 9-12 tournament, which offers its usual full menu of viewing on its digital platforms. Prime Video and ESPN will have live coverage for the opening two rounds, and CBS has the weekend with two hours of lead-in on Paramount+.

CBS has televised the Masters for 70 years, while ESPN began broadcasting the weekend rounds in 2008.

New to the Masters this year is a deal announced in September with Prime Video, which will stream two hours (1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET) on Thursday and Friday that lead to the ESPN coverage. ESPN also has added “Welcome to the Masters,” two hours (10 a.m. to noon) of a pregame show before the opening two rounds.

The relationship with Prime already has led to a documentary on Rory McIlroy’s historic win last year that allowed him to complete the career Grand Slam. “Rory McIlroy: The Masters Wait” premiers March 30.

There also will be “Inside Amen Corner” that will be available exclusively on Prime from 10:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 11:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. the final two rounds.

The dedicated feed will offer a stats-enhanced viewing experience that features an in-depth look into playing three of the most famous holes on the back nine at Augusta National — the par-4 11th, the par-3 12th over Rae’s Creek and the par-5 13th.

Prime Video is expected to announce more details on “Inside Amen Corner” next week.

NBC plans to air a mini-documentary on Sunday, April 5, titled, “Photographer No. 24,” on Hall of Fame center fielder Ken Griffey Jr.’s role as an official photographer for the Masters last year.

The Masters’ digital platforms during the tournament again will have live coverage of featured groups, Hole Nos. 4 through 6, Amen Corner, Hole Nos. 15 and 16, and On The Range.

“Range Tracker” returns for a second year, providing live and recorded data of every shot from every player on the practice range. Another addition for 2026 is “Masters Vault Search,” allowing fans to watch specific tournament clips from more than 50 years of Sunday broadcasts.

Post-secondary leaders to discuss cross-campus collaborations

The artificial intelligence boom is inducing panic about the makeup of Manitoba’s future workforce and influencing new post-secondary application trends.

What remains a constant, says the economist who oversees the University of Manitoba, is the often-overlooked value of a liberal arts degree.

“I’ve always believed in it being a foundation for lifelong learning,” said Michael Benarroch, president and vice-chancellor of the largest post-secondary institute in the province.

“Even more so, in a world of AI, where AI is going to do certain tasks, I think humanities education and social sciences education is going to become even more important.”

Woman who fled abuse decries lack of consequences for landlord who breached lease-breaking confidentiality

Carol Sanders 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

The provincial government is being asked to penalize landlords who breach the confidentiality of tenants breaking a lease to flee domestic violence after a survivor discovered there’s no consequences now.

“It put me in a very difficult situation,” said the woman, who was stunned to see that her landlord copied her abuser in email correspondence, including the domestic violence certificate she obtained to end a tenancy agreement early and leave an abusive relationship.

“My heart dropped to my stomach — I was in disbelief,” she said, recalling the confidentiality breach that occurred in 2025.

“I’m very lucky to be in a situation where it’s no longer a threat to my immediate safety.”

Railways, costs and benefits — the long view

Barry E. Prentice 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

A railway bypass route for Winnipeg has been endorsed by Premier Wab Kinew for further feasibility study. Naturally, critics have emerged that question the economics of a railway bypass.

Doubters want to be convinced that the benefits exceed the costs, and quite rightly.

So, how should we be thinking about costs and benefits?

It is always easier to estimate the costs of large infrastructure projects than it is to measure benefits. Rail contractors can provide cost estimates of the kilometres of rail bed construction and rails required, plus the additional switches, overpasses and a railway trestle that will be needed. Land acquisition is a major cost and time delay.

The last Saturday in September is fast approaching and Ed Benjamin, 69, is gearing up for his regular volunteer stint at Nuit Blanche.

While he hasn’t grabbed this year’s T-shirt yet — he’ll only be able to pick it up during Friday’s orientation — he’s more than prepared for his 5:30-9:30 p.m. shift on Sept. 26.

This will be Benjamin’s sixth year volunteering at the annual contemporary art festival, now in its 16th year.

“I think it’s the best night of the year in Winnipeg, just a fantastic night. And having done it once, I just want to keep going back. It’s very intense but it’s not a significant commitment, it’s just one night, so it’s easy to commit to it,” he says.

Who will win? Most voters haven’t decided yet

Editorial 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Just over a month before Winnipeg voters choose their next mayor, the most striking number in the latest polling isn’t Scott Gillingham’s lead.

It’s the 51 per cent of voters who still haven’t decided who they’re going to vote for.

That is an enormous chunk of the electorate to have sitting on the sidelines this late in a municipal campaign. And while it may make the current standings look more uncertain than they otherwise would, it shouldn’t come as a complete surprise.

Winnipeg municipal elections have not been models of voter engagement in recent years. Turnout has been falling — from 50 per cent in 2014 to 42 per cent in 2018 and just 37.5 per cent in 2022.
