A broadcast team of Tim Metcalf and Donovan Bennett would be great, they're both young supporters and fans of the league at Rogers. I heard Rogers had interest in being part of the Argos deal only if they got some games to televise, TSN/Bell said no.
    It would be good if Shaw or Global got involved too.

    With the extent of cord cutting being what it is and the OTA networks having a 20% larger footprint, they've got to get some games back on CTV or CBC. Like vinyl records, rabbit ears are making a comeback.

    Global is owned by Corus Entertainment, which is owned by the Shaw family.

    Man, I never listen to McCown (or radio in general really) except when somebody links it on this forum and I swear I've heard that fricking story about the fan drop off after the first McNall / Gretz / Candy game five times from Bob. Has he not had anything to do for 26 years?

    Anyway, I think Rogers will come around. One gets the feeling they wanted to sit in a huff until the boomers die off and the CFL goes the way of the dinosaurs. But there's other sexy properties TSN has -- NFL, MLS -- and the CFL remains more durable than expected. The advantages of working together outweigh the advantages of not.

    Do you mean the massive drop off from 41K to 37K?

    Every time Bob talks about the Argos, he mentions this, except his dropoff is from 45k to 35k.
