sportsnet could have delayed coverage or even better offered it to gol so the game got coverage.....cbc and sportsnet are the perfect exapmle why all TFC games should be on GOL.

I totally agree that all of Toronto FC's matches should be on a subscription channel that is not carried on every cable company. :rolleyes:

*Counts*

You've got about more than half of the Toronto FC games on NATIONAL TV. Ten on CBC, I think 1 on Sportsnet, and several on GolTV. That is coupled with the Canadian Championship games.

Not having this game pisses me off and Sportsnet can suck on Ron Jeremy's penis, but you're overreacting.

I'm surprised CBC isn't picking up the game, but asking sportsnet to show it over Yankees Blue Jays is just insane. I'd wager money that more people tuned in to the game yesterday than will watch TFC on TV all year. Unfortunate, but true. That said, At least I can have my comp on my right showing the plains of abraham derby, and on the left watch the Jays DOMINATE the Yankees again. Ah what a great day! :scarf:

I believe Paul B said in another thread that it would be the BMO videoboard feed, so probably no sound.

The Fan590 should have the match on their online radio feed.

There's the small problem of Rogers owning both the team and the TV channel

CBC couldn't even offer it later so we could at the very least PVR it?
I guess "Canadian Championship competition" couldn't convince them :(

CBC dropped it because of budgetary constraints .... meaning, they lost money on it.

If they couldn't afford to show the games live, how are they going to afford to show the games delayed what with the even smaller audiences they would draw?

From PB. He said that it would be a silent feed. Guess that's changed now.

:confused: CBC is supposed to be making money on their programming?

Outside of Hockey how often does that happen?

Hopefully Toronto FC TV will have the feed available for replay, MLS stores matches for their paid site so holding the data shouldn't be a problem.

I'm debating on whether or not I should hook the PC up to my 52".. might wait until the first half is up and see how it plays.

:rolleyes:

I'll take the odd game not being shown at all, versus having every single game on a subscription channel that 98% of the population doesn't have,

That said, there should be a clause that if one of the normal carriers can't show a game, GolTV should get the rights to it.

Doubtful. JDG will be at the game. I'm out of town. That takes two of the... well... two players out of the equation. :(

If you have a laptop though, Joe's does have wireless and it's more than fast enough to stream the game.

Actually, we cut back on the CONCACAF Champions League - NOT the Canadian Championships.

It was the rights holders who decided to go with another broadcaster (Sportsnet). CBC was not successful in getting the rights to this competition, therefore we did not bail on this, and the fact that there was no game tonight on TV is the rights holders decision.

You're right, though - hard to expect Sportsnet to bump the Yanks-Jays game.

With 4 Sportsnets channels, I don't see why they couldn't air the game on one. They aired games last year on just the Pacific channel, with the Ontario channel only showing it on tape-delay.

Glad I had tickets to this one! Great game!

Thanks for that clarification John. I'd assumed the opposite.

I'm just making an (semi) educated assumption but I am thinking that the real problem here is that Nutrilite just didn't put enough sponsorship money into this tournament to allow for all six matches to be produced for telecast. As we know, these things aren't cheap!

online feed was ok... it's not like many of our games are broadcast in HD (Setanta for that matter either)

We hooked the laptop up to a LCD projector and found the stream quite good, even in full screen mode.

Audio left a lot to be desired but quality was ok given the circumstances. If anyone involved in the decision to stream it is reading... thanks.

A large part of the problem is scheduling this tournament in May instead of June and July. It does not make sense to go up against the Stanley Cup Playoffs or the Jays/Yankees. Last year's tournament made sense for television scheduling. Now if only the Tournament teams and MLS would get together so that they could maximize coverage, we would probably get all the games on free tv.

Yah, too bad we have to have it done by mid-June due to when the CCL starts. :(
