C-B fucking C and last two away games

[Stugatzo]

So this Saturday's game is tape delayed to 1:30 a.m. because of that skating sport.
Faaccckkk!
Expect the same treatment for the SJ game on Oct. 25.
Looks like Bold IS carrying live (because so many bars subscribe to that).
But seriously, why would CBC want and who thought it was a good idea to give them the broadcast rights to Saturday night games during hawkie season??
Bah!!
:mad:

[Fort York Redcoat]

Joe's has Bold, right?

[Boris]

Joe's has Bold, right?

si....we watched the Vancouver game there on that remember...i know you were there. :D

[Fort York Redcoat]

I thought so. Just making sure before I got off the ledge...

[Troll]

Face it, hockey draws WAY more then TFC. And the TFC game is still accessible, could be worse.

On top of that, Bold only costs $2.50/month.

[phonzo]

welp...on the plus side..if i can't find anywhere to watch it I can go and play capture the flag in downtown toronto :)

[Don Julio]

Cool, so I can watch the hockey game live and then catch TFC at 1:30!

(ducks)

[justin]

i know i'll be watching the hockey game, toronto vs montreal, fuck ya

[Stugatzo]

Ohhhhhhhh the NHL is shiite.....
Listen, I understand WHY CBC would go with hackey over TFC...question was who thought it was good idea to give them rights during the hockey season.

[MrHawk]

Sportsnet has Baseball coverage

Alright people let's make sure these part timers and puckheads get messaged the score during the game.;):D

[sully]

Is it live on CBC.ca?

[GabrielHurl]

yes it is

[Gobi]

si....we watched the Vancouver game there on that remember...i know you were there. :D

That was on "Bold" (worst. name. EVAR.)?
You better be right about this. :)

But now I'm royally f*cked on the 25th since I can't go to Joe's. :taz:

$2.50 is half the cost of a pint at Joes...

[NateDoGG]

hopefully our cappers from maxxed will get these games released ASAP

also, the CBC SUCKS!!!

too much

[rocker]

you can get a free preview of bold (first month free) and then cancel it before they start charging you.
that's what i did once.

[Parkdale]

it's better than the old version - Country Canada

[Gobi]

$2.50 is half the cost of a pint at Joes...

Actually, it's about 1/3 the cost! :)
Anyway, it's just not an option. I'll be in a hotel rehearsing my sister's wedding. Boo.

its what i have stated from the begining CBC sucks shite...:(

[johnmolinaro]

Yes, it is.

You should all be glad that at least one network has taken the initiative to support a football team in a market that is, in all honesty, saturated with professional teams that are presently more lucrative for TV deals and advertisement, than TFC.... despite the fact that all these teams are allergic to winning. At least the game will be televised AND on the internet. If you don't like CBC, fine, but all this bitching is starting to piss me off. Keep it to yourself and stay brainwashed on CNN instead.

I am sure the CBC wasn't expecting a poorly performing, stale, team like the Leafs to come back this year, so the broadcast rights for Saturday are an unfortunate coincidence.

[Hitcho]

John Molinaro - I don't want to bash you on this because this debate has been had before (CBC tries to make sure the games are shown live somewhere and sold off rights to other games for the same reason, etc), and we appreciate you coming on to try and explain/help, but my question is this:

instead of putting the games not sold off to other channels on Bold, can't the CBC air the games on a free to air channel instead? Why should TFC fans have to pay to watch their team live when other TO sports fans don't? There must be an option in the CBC empire somewhere, no?

I'll leave the HD plea for another time... ;-)

[Cambridge_Red]

Atleast there's an option. Stop whining.

[Hitcho]

Atleast there's an option. Stop whining.

If that was aimed at me, then try re-reading my post. I specifically said I'm not bashing JM and we appreciate him coming on to explain/help. All I did was ask a perfectly valid question - hasn't CBC got a free to air channel it can show the games on instead of a pay channel? If you want to see some whining, go and read previous threads along this line, or the opening post of this thread.

If that wasn't aimed at me, then you are a scholar and a gentleman and you have my apology, sir. :D:D:D

[rocker]

hasn't CBC got a free to air channel it can show the games on instead of a pay channel?

nope. channel 6 is it.

they can't show it on Newsworld since that's licensed as a news channel.
they can't show it on SRC since that's french. doubt the montrealers want TFC when they already show Impact games.

[Torcida]

i know i'll be watching the hockey game, toronto vs montreal, fuck ya
Nobody cares.

[Hooligan69]

WHAT THE FUCK IS HOCKEY!?!?!

:rofl:

Good point mate!
