I believe that 80% number is what was trotted out when the CFL went exclusively with TSN back in 2007-08. I can't imagine it is anywhere near that today.
I have been pissed off about this since they announced that deal in 2007. Keith Pelley, a former TSN executive, was given carte blanche to negotiate that TV deal and never even spoke with long-time partner CBC. Then within months of the CFL announcing that deal, Bell/TSN/CTV announced they had acquired the NFL rights and it was clear from the outset which league was going to be the priority for them.
