May 27, 201510 yr comment_121347 I thought we had a new contract with ESPN that had them airing all the CFL games? Is that on something like ESPN3 now or something?

May 27, 201510 yr comment_121349 June 27, 2014 The CFL reached a new multi-year agreement with ESPN on Friday. A broadcast source said the deal is for five years. The agreement calls for a minimum of 17 regular-season games as well as the East and West Division finals being broadcast annually on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNEWS. All other contests will be available live on ESPN3 across computers, smartphones, tablets and connected devices. The Grey Cup game will be carried live on ESPN2. “We are thrilled for our fans in the United States that the ESPN networks will be the exclusive home of our league there,” CFL commissioner Mark Cohon said in a statement. “Since the early days of ESPN, CFL games have been a valued part of our programming lineup,” said Burke Magnus, senior vice-president, programming acquisitions. “I’m proud to see our relationship continue as we strive to serve football fans 365 days a year.”
May 27, 201510 yr comment_121440 I was surprised in 2012 to see the Grey Cup on NBC Sports on the hotel TV in Miami.

Benefit to the CFL was increased exposure.

Have you seen some of th folks at Tim Hortons? I dunno if any form of exposure is good exposure coming from those restaurants.. Especially ones in Detroit.
May 28, 201510 yr comment_121470 looking back at days of black outs and little tv coverage, even watching bomber games in french its a massive improvement. 10 years from now the league could be in an amazing spot thanks to the work cohon did. That said, at the game with a ear bud in listening to bob irving call the game is my no1.
May 28, 201510 yr comment_121615 The ESPN coverage has been really good the past three years. Games are available for a week afterwards to rewatch on ESPN3. Hope that changes to the month that most NCAA coverage has.
