What CTV clause would that be? To ensure that certain games would be on CTV? That would be nice, but I'm pretty certain Bell would have countered with less money to have that clause included. Now,...

Thank you. I've been spouting this point for years but no one seems to get it. It sucks, but its the way it is. The second that ABC, CBS, NBC or FOX picks up the Grey Cup or ANY CFL game is the...

Ok well that's good news for the CFL, in only that you will probably see NFL games forced to TSN, and then see more comparable Canadian TV numbers between the leagues. There will be no reason for...

This is Bell Media's decision not the leagues. Although I'm sure the league could somehow negotiate this into the contract. But its very possible Bell Media said no. And this is the reason why, and...

I'm pretty sure the Jays game is going to whip the Argos game this time. But given the Jays hype now, its completely understood. I'm pretty sure an MLB/NFL type situation where the MLB team was on a...

Well, you pretty much get the full TSN broadcast watching on ESPN3, minus the commercials of course. Its decent, not sure what people are complaining about, besides Rod Black. I really do not like...

True. Its not something to be proud of. Its the biggest hurdle the league and team must overcome. But you know as well as I know that even though no one talks about it, and even though no one admits...

Part of the swag is fashion. Its fashionable to wear NFL stuff. Plain and simple. Its "not cool" to wear an Argos jersey. Its also "not cool" to ask for an Argo game to be played at a bar. Other...

Quality has been down this year especially compared to the last few years, but it seems to have picked up a bit in the latter part of the season. Could be that expansion has been a part of it, but...

Perhaps TSN/CTV/Bell makes more money from NFL games, regardless of how many people tune in. Don't forget when it comes to advertising its not just how many its who; demographics. Without any science...

Could be that both teams are sub 500 and not playing the most exciting ball for most of the season.

Not really because Saturday night starting in October IS hockey night in Canada. Its not just the name of the show. CFL or other events can draw well against hockey on other nights, but on Saturday...

But is CTV2 available OTA? If its not, which I doubt it is, then they won't cannibilize TSN for that. Which made me realize, and this was probably mentioned earlier, if Bell puts the Superbowl on TSN...

I almost have to say conspiracy that Bell doesn't put the Grey Cup on CTV. There's millions of more viewers available for such a high level event, but it never happens. What other reason?

I will bet it has changed, albeit it maybe not much, but not in the direction you doubted it changed much. With more and more people cutting the cord, less and less people will have access to TSN,...

I only looked at the numbers posted that appear on this page of the thread, but if you notice ONLY the NFL games on CTV ever draw the big numbers, the TSN numbers are always down around 400,000. The...

You are right. But if you were Cohen, wouldn't you be wanting to cash in on those people tuning in? And in that way, those people only tuning in are worth something, even if they aren't worth...

The NFL would have something to say about that as they laugh themselves to the bank everyday since the 1960s when they realized that TV numbers mean everything, and everything else is just gravy.
