CBC = Canadian Broadcasting ie. non football specific
Gol TV = football specific

If the ratings aren't good cbc wont spend the money on it. Be happy with what you have with CBC'S coverage of TFC MLS matches. We could've been stuck with the likes of the Score...

CBC good product? do you ever wtach tv south of the border or europe/UK cbc can't compete with them, if they didn't have NHIC they
would really suck.

Dude, you have no fucking clue.

First of all, of the CBC's billion-dollar budget, about $215 million goes towards paying for their entire television network; meanwhile, private broadcasters in Canada were given massive economic concessions in the form of simultaneous substitution of their ads on american networks being broadcast into Canada, totalling well over $350 million a year.

So, in essence, the Canadian government funds private TV more significantly than public. Yet despite this, we get a broad variety o n CBC of everything from public interest (Canadian Antiques Roadshow, Fifth Estate etc), to sport (HNIC and the only broadcaster bothering to do soccer properly), to local news and even a couple of hit sit-coms in Little Mosque and Sophie (not that I'm a sitcom fan, but there ya go).

Meanwhile, US broadcasters have an audience 10 TIMES that of Canada, and therefore a much larger advertising base, which allows them to spend that same multiplier on their shows; one episode of CSI costs the same to shoot as an ENTIRE SEASON of many Canadian-produced shows. THey can make the money up by reselling it to 10X the number of markets, as well.

The CBC has many problems. But how they spend money these days isn't one of them; they're actually ranked last among all public broadcasters in developed nations for funding (okay, it might not be dead last, but 23rd is pretty damn bad). And before anyone brings up the falsehood that they should be "publicly supported" like PBS, consider that PBS also gets 10 times the funding hte CBC does via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, an arm's length NGO funded by the US government.

In fact, despite the massive amount of misinformation about the CBC conveyed to the public --and particularly goofs like MIGHTY _TORONTOFC-- by right-wing politicians who play to their base by slaggign anything public, the reality is that we're damn lucky to have them; if the Canadian government knew what it was doing, it would respect the public's need to be well-informed, literate and interested in the society around them, and fund them properly, as the BBC does under its new massive mandate in Britain.

Incidentally, there have been at least five major studies by relatively independent think tanks in the last decade that back pretty much all of this up. I'd refer to the Public Policy Forum's "Whither the CBC?" as a good read if you're interested.

Right cause Goal TV programming is so great. I get to watch the same south america game 22 times in one week and guess what? it's three weeks old. Oh, and I pay $2 bucks for the channel. Oh, and guess what? it's the FIRST LIVE GAME they are broadcasting this year. So let's do that, let's trade Goal TV for CBC so that we can watch 1 game all season. Do you even realize what you are saying?

And don't let me start with the fact they don't have an HD channell and their video and audio feeds are equal to what I get on JumpTV.

Yeah...its not hard to do...and yet people haven't done it.

So the best way to bring exposure to TFC is to put them on a channel that a fraction of Canadian television viewers actually have?

Good idea!

You yourself admit the NHL is a dying league...and their punishment is being on a channel barely anyone has. How can the same marketing actions be good for a growing league by putting them on the same type of channel? It just doesn't make sense.

As John Molinaro explained in a different thread, CBC did not originally purchase the rights to the Toronto @ Vancouver, so it's not as if they have the rights and are refusing to broadcast the match because they don't want a ratings hit. They simply did not have the rights to the game.

British television programs in general are boring. CNN and other American news channels don't even report the news with all the facts....and to them, it is all about ratings and being left-wing or right-wing for them.

Anyway, CBC and other Canadian news channels actually report both sides of the story.

I think CBC does a great job on the games they have. Much better than Sportsnet and let's not even mention the Score.

Sure Goltv carries a lot of soccer. That's their only product. The fact that they've now carried a total of 1 TFC game doesn't make them good however. It's a pretty weak channel.

I appreciate what CBC is doing and has done to promote TFC.

So all in all, I find this thread way over the top and the initial post completely out of line.

CBC has excellent TFC coverage. Good analysis, good features, good commentating on the matches (the occasional Nigel player-name slip-up excepted). I love the articles by John Molinaro and Nigel Reid on their website.

Talking about the BBC as well, BBC has good documentaries. Their footie coverage is good, excepting that the EPL matches are being covered by Sky (at huge subscription fees). I love the World Football podcast, TFC is mentioned briefly twice in the July 5th North and Latin American phone-in (Danny Dichio in the 24th minute of the podcast, yet!).

jesus. cbc puts on all these home games with good commentary, as well as streaming them, and storing them online, and you bitch them out. consdidering the ratings, we are dead lucky for that.

you are seriously off your fucking rocker


they tape delay some...check this october whn hockey is on thats bullshit right there.streaming who cares for that shit. the rating are poor because of the CBC and their inept practices like having Brenda Irving starting the program off, shes one to make one toss his dinner.

Everyone is aware that CBC is streaming the game live on cbc.ca/sports right? But CBC is shit for not cancelling the shows they had planned when they got short notice of the Canadian Championship. Oi.

So what is your argument as to why Goal TV is so much better? they've showed one single TFC game THIS YEAR. Really interested in seeing an answer but I know you'll just ignore the question.

Because CBC is hogging the rights.they won't let FSWC show non TFC games anymore selfish bastards....for the good of soccer in this country i wish the CBC would piss off and walk away..scumbags that they are.

Seriously Mighty...just shut up for once. It's like you get a thrill out of taking the irrational side of an argument. CBC has been good for TFC...almost everyone sees that. Criticizing them for not making TFC the only thing in the world is simply stupid.

Seriously dude. I told you in another thread that when nobody agrees with you then you have to look at how rational your argument is. Well...when nobody agrees with you on not just one topic but on almost everything you state...well...either you really are a troll or you need some serious help dude.

Either way...cut it out or get out.

Do you know this for a fact or are you making an assumption?

Yes, for the good of soccer in Canada, let's make sure that TFC gets as little coverage as possible!

I was working in Seattle last year and I was VERY happy that I caught a few games on CBC. Yes, Seattle gets CBC from Vancouver!!

I should visit the English Pub down the road to see if they have GolTV so I can watch the game. It's within walking distance of home and I've never been there. WTF? :lol:
