Guest Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Just goes to show how cheap TSN really is, it seems to me that this has to due with production costs, which they save by airing NBA, Boxing, and movies. It should be noted that only the final two NBA championship games last season were able to beat CFL Pre-season games in terms of tv ratings, IIRC the last two games received 600k and 900k, while CFL preseaon games beat games 1-4 with ratings between 325k-580k.

I can, to an extent, understand being pre-empted for championship games (even though I'm not an NBA fan) but to be bumped from the schedule for Rocky .. that's just sad.

Atomic Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 It sucks but at least those of us in Winnipeg get to see one of the games live. As for the second one, well, it won't be the first game I've had Bob Irving describe to me, I don't really mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on both counts, just find it weird and frustrating that TSN2 couldn't air all the games and just air the NBA championship on the main network. Hopefully when the new deal kicks in next season, they really do air all CFL games in accordance with the official press release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I really appreciate listening to Bob doing the play by play of Bomber games. My worst nightmare would be Rod Black doing radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
