CBC blows!

The truth of the matter is they get better ratings with the Jays, so they aren't about to cut away from an extra innings game to show the TFC game.

I share in your frustration though

That's the defense, bro. If you look at EVERY sport, that's what the defense is trying to do - make the other team not score. The offense is ALWAYS trying to score.

Factor in 30+ teams and you got yourself Gayball 24/7. Im watching the CFL game on TSN and flipping back till CBC shows the TFC game.

Pointyball kicks gayballs ass.

Bummer...
sitting in the footy bar with the England/Andorra game ending looking forward to TFC... then we switch to CBC and damn... Blue Jays in the 11th!

CBC gladly informs us the TFC game is live on CBC Bold and on the Internet.
We ask the bar staff and get told they have free wireless but have never even tried hooking up the internet to one of their TV's. No matter no one has a laptop anyways.

CBC Bold? The bar staff has never heard of it. "It carries sports?" they ask.
We hunt it up and find it is not part of the package the bar has.

Jays in the 12th... who cares! The France supporters are going nuts in the side viewing room watching the WC qualifier, a CFL Pointy ball game comes on and another group is watching tennis.

Jays in the 13th... We are depressed and leave for home.
Get home just in time for the baseball game to end and the CBC joins the TFC game in progress in the 68th minute. I guess that pretty much sums up the interest in soccer by our national broadcaster.

You fans sounded great and the depleted team looked like it was really working hard with their depleted lineup but lets face it... MLS is strictly bush league and gets treated that way by the CBC.

I was actually at the Jays game today (free tickets) and was pissed when the game just kept going knowing that it was delaying TFC coverage. Maybe TSN2 can pick up the option on TFC TV.

I have seen the TV ratings for TFC and they arent the highest but the fact is they have not gotten a fair shake over the first 2 years of the franchise. It would be nice if they could get a reliable/dedicated station to support the team and show every game of the season live and build a TV audience...that may be a huge pipe dream though...

sportsnet, the score, goltv, foxsportsworld... i'm sure one of them would pick it up. they've all shown TFC before.

The Score uses American feeds and GolTV and FSW probably have less subscribers than CBC Bold.

With CBC Sports Plus launching, there should be no problems like this anymore. Seriously.

Then we wouldn't have soccer on TV at all.

Gee, Luca, there you go, "trolling" by throwing out logic again.

They're right about the overreactions to the season, though, Dude. I've read your posts over the year and you're not ususally so reactionary. They haven't a had a solid lineup for more than four games all year, and in those four games we went 3-0-1.

Honestly live in the now and get a FTA sat reciever. Then you can simply flick over to CBC bold. Personally I was watching the Jays to begin with and turns out I was better off cause TFC was getting their shit kicked. And for those of you fixed income dudes, recievers are 150 bucks with free support on the internets so you can only bitch about not catching the game if your a cheap ass

Most people who live in the city don't live in houses...I know I dont. No FTA sat for me...I guess no living in the "now" for me?

You can still have it if you live in an apartment. If your not allowed to secure a dish to your wall then make a mount out of wood. Or just pay the 3 dollars for bold legally
