All TFC games not on TSN will be on Gol TV. If you don't have the channel, now might be the time to get it.

You'd better have Gol TV.

Actually that probably means the games will all be on 501 (Rogers) preview channel for free. Unless GolTv finally gets their HD rolled out.Originally Posted by kodiakTFC
whos going to do the commentary since luke is moving full time to tsn
got it, love it, wish they showed more Bremen games (ie wish Bremen wasnt doing so awful this year). cant wait to hear about people being livid because htey have to pay another $2.50 a month.
I just wish that they'd dump Ray Hudson from the GolTV Barcelona broadcasts. *sigh*

Toronto FC has no clue.
Hiding their games on a digital channel means this country will end up having more Vancouver Whitecaps fans than TFC fans.
Truly pathetic. I will never ever buy GolTV knowing I already subscribe to 2 TSN's, 5 Sportsnets, CBC and The Score. Get on a bloody national channel and start acting like a real team.
If Vancouver can do it, why they hell can't we?
its more than 2.5 when you factor in having to rent the box and taxes.
They make money on Ads, why charge people for a channel
Stick an antenna on BMO and let us get this for free, in HD too

I have gol, but this is horrible news. In the bigger picture, you need to attract new and casual fans, you don't do that by sticking it on gol. If this ends up being confirmed it speaks to the lack of value other networks put on TFC games, which isn't good.
yes, id rather itd be on CBC where everyone could watch every TFC/VAN/MONT game possible, but that aint gonna happen cuz its not a priority for the CBC, it doesnt grab/attract supporters. Its been on tv for 4 years now and the numbers havent changed, dont think smalltown joe in northern sask cares about TFC and isnt likely to start.
As for it costing more than 2.50 a month, i like more than 1 channel so yes, its costing me 150$ a month with the internet but if i added or took away the 2.50, i wouldnt notice.
Im not defending the move, like i said id rather its on the CBC, that aint gonna happen, i do appreciate it will be on 2 channels, one of whihc has wide spread attention as well as priority on at least 1 of those two channels.
also i like being a contrarian when people complain about how much goltv costs
There's a detachment from reality in people's complaints. The games will be on GOL because no national network wants them. I'm sorry that some people feel the costs associated with games being on GOL is unacceptable.
Bush league for MLSE. It's a poorly produced telecast too.
Just out of interest, does anyone have an idea of how games will be on TSN v. how many on GOL?
I don't think it needed to be on CBC, I understand their position from a national standpoint, but the fact that it's not on regionally on Sportsnet (especially considering they picked up Whitecaps regional games) kind of sucks. Maybe some games conflict with the Jays, but aren't many TFC games being moved to later start times this year? That would eliminate most Jays/TFC conflicts. I don't know, maybe darts get better ratings.
thats the problem, they do hence noone fighting for TFC and it being on GOLTV where it has priority, its likely to change if MLS gets increasing viewers through TSN
These are on TSN - the rest are GOL TV

"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
TSN has 13 of 34 total MLS Reg Season League Games??
so the other 21 Reg Season games are on a specialty channel that not that many people subscribe to??
so approx 60% of games will be hard to find on TV??
brilliant.
What channel is carrying the NCC games??
Wow, RSN or CBC or The Score wanted no part of the rest of the sched?
I'm guessing MLSE would have basically given the games away to get more coverage, and compete for the hearts of fans across the country.
(Given that their 5 year head start didn't yield anything, thank MoJo)
Who paid you to be there official publicist?
Caramba! Are you crazy???
CBC isn't carrying any games at all this year?
I hate to say it like this and blunt, but your guess is completely wrong...
Carts...
"...Money wasn't tight, but it like, it wasn't right..."
online streaming works for me.
So they overpriced their content to the point that no one would take it?
The contracts expired, TSN acquired the rights and MLSE wants people to pay for their station. Thats how this came to be. CBC wanted in but was shut out. Too bad. I was hoping for a Soccer Day in Canada each Saturday or so.
Wow...simply wow.
I wasn't paying attention to this but not having CBC is a bonafide screw-up for TFC.
TSN's promotion of the first game has been laughable. If that is any indication of how much effort they will put into TFC games, we're all worse off.
And don't get me started on GolTV.
TFC have just been assured of keeping their viewership at the same or even lower levels. Well done!
My feelings are similar.
^ I think GolTv was averaging like 30000 per game. Don't see it being any better this year. So much for growth of the fanbase.
I thought Sportsnet was going to pick up a bunch of regional games, but with them being the exclusive home of the Blue Jays and the Whitecaps schedule I guess it wasn't a priority.
Hopefully Sportsnet picks up the NCC schedule, cause watching 60% of the season in standard def with zero alternative in Cogecolan is bullshit

the funny/sad thing is, some of the worst games ever were on Goltv... always the godawful road games. so they were hidden away. if that shit had been broadcasted nationally it wouldn't have been good advertising for MLS!
