CFL Schedule Change

[TecnoGenius]

I watch all the CFL games, but I hate triple headers.

I like the added ridiculousness of the panel by hour 8... they really start losing their mojo around then.

7-10 hours of NFL every Sunday...

Wow, I couldn't watch TV for 10 hours and kill a day watching football, too much else going on.3 hours no problem, I can always spring 3 Hours but a whole day, nope, not for anything

Trick is to have a tv in almost every room in the house, can still get some things done and watch redzone

The problem I have following the nfl is there's too many teams to keep track of their lineups and who's playing where, I generally try and keep an eye on the Vikings and the chiefs. Used to watch the saints but when breez retires I stoppped watching them

WARNING

As I feared, neither TSN nor CTV will replay the Banjo Bowl in the wee hours.  The one airing on CTV is the only airing you will get on broadcast TV.  Set your PVRs in triplicate, and have your neighbor record it too, just to make sure!

Also, don't forget many PVRs will give precedence to the earlier-starting game and thus miss an hour of the BB (although most modern PVRs can record 2+ shows at once so this won't affect everybody).

They have the BB scheduled to go 2-5pm, but there's no game from 5-6pm so tell your PVR to record an extra hour in case there's OT or some other delay.  Maybe a moose will show up at the stadium again!

I'm starting to wonder if there is actually a single person on this forum who likes the switch to CTV... I hope the "new / channel flipper" fan recruiting achieved by this is worth the ire of every hardcore fan!  I hope the ratings are through the roof!!

I'll be at the game, so my annoyance is delayed for at one week. However, I know at least two people who were planning to watch the Banjo Bowl on TSN and now have just said "oh well, I guesss I won't watch it" because they don't get CTV. I'm sure Bell will come up with some way of claiming victory, but I don't know a single person who (1) has any inclination to watch the game, and (2) has CTV but not TSN.

CFL fans: Why does the CTV have NFL games but not CFL games?

Also CFL fans: Why is the game on CTV?

Endless discussion of this.... Some Fans saying "it's on TSN+"

Reply... that is additional subscription

Fans say....  "No no it's free... " lol. Have fun being mad.

A Lot of non cord cutters still exist.

Best thing about CFL+ don't have to watch repetitive commercials.

I also heard just before gametime that the game was on TSN+. Makes sense and will work for all those that pay for the TSN streaming subscription. I hope they do that for the remainder of the early Saturday games that were supposed to be exclusively on CTV. I'm not sure why they just didn't announce this from the get-go instead of making people scramble.

Sorry....

I wasn't clear....yes it was on TSN + but.....TSN + is only available with a subscription to TSN + for which there is a charge in addition to a TSN subscription.

In other words, a gouge.

Someone said they got TSN+ with a vpn set to Norway. We have NordVPN so I tried that, did not work for me.

Might just switch to radio broadcast anyway.

@gobombersgo.....Re CTV.... I don't have cable, so I don't have CTV.

All correct, I subscribed to TSN+ before the season started only to discover they do not carry most CFL games, I had to exchange it for a full TSN streaming subscription which does not include TSN+!

Interesting. I just have the regular TSN streaming package, and I have always had access to TSN+ for free.

It's very confusing, but I think that we may be mixing up TSN+ (essentially extra TSN streaming channels) with CFL+ (run by the CFL, just a basic feed under certain circumstances).

I've always had TSN+ for free with my online TSN streaming package. I just scroll over in the smart TV app and the extra channels are there. I hardly ever go there, but it would have been useful today had I not been at the game.

"It's very confusing."

Yes it certainly is

"I've always had TSN+ for free with my online TSN streaming package. I just scroll over in the smart TV app and the extra channels are there. I hardly ever go there, but it would have been useful today had I not been at the game. "

That's interesting...we do not get TSN + with our TSN streaming package.

Thanks!
