The CFL also gets relegated to TSN because NFL football is far more popular in major Canadian markets (Toronto and Vancouver).

To be fair, the man does know his Figure Skating.

Bell Media could easily produce a Super Bowl telecast through their sports channel, TSN, but some U.S. Broadcasters might cry foul as ESPN has an ownership stake in TSN as well.

Great. Now I have Nikki Yankofsky singing “I Believe” in my head...

I actually feel bad for her. She was a great up and coming jazz singer and that campaign pretty much wrecked her career.

Conversely, every goddamn ad during the Vancouver Olympics was for Bell.

Rogers Media/Sportsnet actually does this for the World Series, with inserts from their own commentators.

At least I was able to feel good about being a Shaw customer for about five minutes until they were bought out by the right-wing dirtbags at Corus Media.

The problem here is the fact that the CRTC allows the same company to be your content provider and distribution system.

Either ban SimSub entirely, or not at all

As someone who drinks Bomber, Parallel 49, Main Street, Howe Sound, Central City, Dead Frog, Red Truck, Russell, Shaftebury, and Steamworks, I’ve never heard of this “Molson” you’re talking about. You’re right about the commercials though. All we produce in Vancouver is CW shows based on comic books.

If Crooked Christy Clark loses her job on May 9th because no one in British Columbia sees the avalanche of Liberal propaganda masquerading as government announcements, that’s A.O.K. with me.

First of all, as person with Borderline Personality Disorder who gets easily pissed off at bullshit feel good “awareness” campaigns surrounding mental health,  Fuck Bell Media

Meanwhile in Canada, automatic check-off of Union dues has been the law since the Rand Formula was established in 1946, and upheld by the Supreme Court in 1991.

Seattle may be a smaller market, but it’s relative given that there are nearly four million people living there, plus 2.5 million in Portland that would be in the Seattle team’s TV market, no NBA team, and the only other nearby NHL team being located in Vancouver.

Canadian $ exchange rate, Trump-induced economic collapse after he rips up NAFTA, and trying to hedge in on Montreal’s TV market says otherwise.

I hear you, and I respect the anger where that comes from because I’ve been known to post like that, but it’s not there yet.

Meanwhile in Canada, Kyle Lowry’s comments and the rest of the NBA reaction to the travel ban is a lead story on Sportscentre, which airs on TSN, a cable network partially owned by ESPN.

That offer expired a LONG time ago:

As a Vancouverite who’s more of a “We the North” shrugger/eye-roller and is still pissed with Raptor fans for cheering the Grizzlies’ relocation to Memphis, I concur.

Don’t forget NBA-suitable venues in Edmonton, Saskatoon, Ottawa and Quebec City.
