Seriously????

Just checked the guide. Ravi is correct.

Yes, I saw it too....since I don't subscribe to anything but TSN1, looks like I will listen to Hoagie & JJ on TSN radio...assuming the Queens Plate has not taken over the radio as well.

Just laughable - that the CFL's only TV feed gets to play 2nd fiddle to a horse race = just not good enough; a 2nd CFL TV carrier was and is needed - TSN not up to the job to put the CFL #1 as it should be.

[Fumblitis]

Horse racing before football. Pathetic!

[Argo57]

Seriously????

I would understand having 1 feed for the race and the Argo game on the other, idiotic setup having the same race on both, times like this make you wish we had 2 networks involved in broadcasting CFL games.

Glenn remains Riders’ security blanket | Video

Few thought that the Riders would be cashing in their insurance policy this early in the CFL season. ...


Last year, the Lions acquired Glenn from the Ottawa Redblacks in a CFL draft-day trade. The Lions were looking for insurance for quarterback Travis Lulay, whose status was doubtful due to a shoulder injury. Glenn started 17 of 18 regular-season games in 2014. He was released during the off-season, which led to his timely return to the Riders.
“The knock has always been Kevin hasn’t won the big one and come to think of it that’s been the knock against me,’’ said Stegall, who spent 14 seasons with the Blue Bombers. “He has been consistent and he has always provided a way for his teams to win. Not just win one game, but to win many games. Teams know if they bring him, they aren’t going to miss a beat offensively.’’

Hey what's all this complaining going on here?

Could this be an attempt to get more people to pay for the complete support sports package in order to get more money out of customers? With Shaw I get TSN1 and Sportsnet and Sportsnet1 but have to buy the entire sports package to get the rest.

@ Wobbler

Thanks for posting the depth chart. I have been looking for it on argonauts.ca but no sign of it yet. I suppose they'll get around to it eventually.

I find it odd that they are running basketball and then the Queen's Plate on both TSN1 and TSN2. It is quite rare for them to run the same programming on both of those feeds. To answer your question, this could very well be a ploy to try to get you and others to purchase the complete sports package.

It is a shame that they are doing this tomorrow as the potential was there for some pretty large ratings for the Toronto/Saskatchewan game. Not having it on TSN1 might take a big bite out of those ratings. I can't imagine that the CFL would be happy with this.

[Wobbler]

My pleasure. Yeah, they are really slow updating the site this time. The full PDF is useful and I would have whined about it earlier if not for the fact that we're basically fielding the same team this week so there (probably) isn't much to see.

[ArgoZ]

Seriously????

I'm with Shaw Hamilton. My main TSN feed, as with all of Southern Ontario, is called TSN4. I pay extra for TSN2. I can only get TSN1 online, as it is Western Canada's main feed. The game will be on tomorrow and we are all going to be able to watch it, except for people in BC and Alberta, who then ONLY subscribe to TSNs main feed. It's business as usual guys, turn on TSN tomorrow and watch it.

I believe you are mistaken. If you live in Stratford, TSN4 is your main feed and included in most basic cable plans. You will be able to watch the game tomorrow on your only TSN channel.

Thanks for the clarification, ArgoZ. I have noticed that I have TSN4 twice so what you are saying makes sense. I believe that TSN3 then is the main TSN feed for Manitoba and Saskatchewan and TSN5 for the Ottawa area at least. Too bad that those in Alberta and B.C. may not be able to see this game though.

Funny you mention that. I was checking my satellite guide last night during the CFL game, when my wife took our satellite of vacation mode just before the start of the season, it seems TSN3 is included, never has been before. Still not happy with TSN bumping the CFL for horse racing.

[AngeloV]

TSN bumping the CFL for horse racing.

They are probably contractually bound to this. For what it's worth, doesn't matter. ArgoZ is correct. TSN4 is the main Southern Ontario feed, so your TSN feed would have the Argos game.

You can imagine my glee when I realized I am able to watch the game!

In BC,with Telus, its only cost 9 bucks to get

All 5 tsn channels,
Sportsnet P, 1, and 360
Golf Channel
NHL network
NFL network
Fantasy Sports Canada

Not a bad deal at all

With TSN3 as main feed for Saskatchewan/Manitoba (Maybe others???), and TSN 4 covering southern Ontario I'm not sure that ratings are gonna be affected all that much.

Unless I am reading it wrong, TSN now lists the game on TSN1 as well?
