Usually I blast the media for TFC neglect...

but interesting yesterday, was that CFTO, started their sports cast with TFC, and they even called TFC by "TFC", instead of the usual "FC"

The TFC coverage started the broadcast, ahead of the NHL playoffs, and the Jays, who had actually won...

This is a good sign :)

or maybe the media just likes to start their broadcasts with losing teams, hence why they normally start with the Leafs

City TV sports led with Toronto FC, then went to the Jays etc...

Two years ago we were a footnote at the end with no highlights...

Growth is slow, but it is there... If we had a winning team, it would be 100% faster...

Wow. This is remarkable.

Hope they didn't show any shots where you could see the stands in Dallas.

I know - nothing looks more minor league than an empty stadium...

Well, to look at the flip side of this...
Often on tv they save the stories of biggest interest to viewers until later so as to keep people watching.
So, you could say that they started with TFC knowing that most viewers were waiting to see the hockey highlights.

City TV is showing TFC highlights later in the news (6:30 or 6:40)... the blond just did a teaser for it.

Nice to see TFC making inroads in the TO media....now if the whole league would get some coverage that would be better
