Posted June 3, 201312 yr comment_2463 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/feature/?id=508 IIRC 6-7 Pre-Season games were going to air originally and now we're down to 2, very disappointed by this. From my understanding, the games were pulled in favour of "expanded" NBA playoffs coverage and a Rocky Movie.
June 3, 201312 yr comment_2480 this is such a brutal thing to see.. I'd hope that the CFL fans blow up the inbox of TSN with angry emails. How do you say something like "yea we got em all!" to uh, naw, just 2..

June 3, 201312 yr comment_2502 I was kind of expecting this to happen, honestly. Doesn't surprise me one bit. We keep forgetting that TSN is the Toronto Sports Network.

We keep forgetting that TSN is the Toronto Sports Network. if that were true, you'd think a Toronto game might have been televised... ...hell, our preseason game at Varsity isn't even licensed! :cry:
June 3, 201312 yr comment_2508 if that were true, you'd think a Toronto game might have been televised... ...hell, our preseason game at Varsity isn't even licensed! :cry: Yeah what does this have to do with Toronto? The Raptors aren't playing are they? I think it's just TSN being ******-bags.
June 3, 201312 yr comment_2519 So infuriating...especially as the sole rights holders. And its not even getting bumped for something big like a Cup game.
June 3, 201312 yr comment_2529 It's more about the costs associated with broadcasting live sports. TSN is being cheap and not wanting to shell out. It's MUCH cheaper to air a movie or some other crap...
June 3, 201312 yr comment_2532 It's more about the costs associated with broadcasting live sports. TSN is being cheap and not wanting to shell out. It's MUCH cheaper to air a movie or some other crap... then just DO that, and don't say you are going to broadcast the games, then change your mind a week before. That's just bullshit.
June 4, 201312 yr comment_2539 This is what you get when the CFL has a contract with just one television network. They can do what they want...
June 4, 201312 yr comment_2546 Here's the NBA finals schedule: Game 1 - June 6 Game 2 - June 9 Game 3 - June 11 Game 4 - June 13 - 1 CFL preseason game If Necessary Game 5 - June 16 Game 6 - June 18 Game 7 - June 20 - 3 CFL preseason games There is no reason a CFL preseason game couldn't be on TSN2 when the NBA games are on. What makes this strange is last season's preseason games had pretty good ratings. Some games had higher ratings than the NBA finals.

There is no reason a CFL preseason game couldn't be on TSN2 when the NBA games are on. I believe TSN only shows the first 3 games of the Chi/LA game, and then everything shifts to CBC...

You're right. I forgot about that.
June 4, 201312 yr comment_2549 Slap in the face to all CFL fans. The fans the network claims to respect.

June 4, 201312 yr comment_2551 While it's lame that they went back on their word, the honest truth is that the pre-season games on TSN kinda suck, because they have no clue about any of the players and anything that's happened in camp. It's nice to have a visual, but the actual broadcast kinda sucks. I'd just as soon listen to Irving, who followed camp completely and knows all the storylines.

It's nice to have a visual, but the actual broadcast kinda sucks. I'd just as soon listen to Irving, who followed camp completely and knows all the storylines. Definitely, but the most important aspect of the game (to me at least) is that you get a full game's worth of tape to watch and re-watch. At no point do I wonder what Glen Suitor thinks of our players.
June 4, 201312 yr comment_2558 Who wants to watch Rocky when you can rent it? Or Caddyshack or the other crap they show like Yougblood.
June 4, 201312 yr comment_2650 Ian Busby @buzrbe1m TSN cuts back pre-season broadcasts to 2 games -- both involving EDM. Great service to Edm fans. It might be best 2 Esks outings this season
