Smoke delays, see the GDT

I guess someone could have tweaked the teleprompter/chyron message on that "commercial break in progress" page though!  As a tech guy, not hard to put a message on top saying "game delayed to 8pm CST due to smoke".  CFL ain't too quick on its feet when it comes to improvising.

Moral of the story: pay more attention to the forum than the CFL pages!

BC/EDM game is just the commercial break screen too. That's after watching 10 min of the first Q.

Can anyone get into the game?
My wife is amazing!

Uh oh... the container pages aren't loading again!  I tried to open one on the media PC in the living room (daughter wants to watch) but now it won't open.  Luckily I still have a container page at the final URL open already on my work computer.  The stream is working fine, just those container pages won't load.

Hold that thought: got an extra test one to load after about 120s delay!  So if you get the spinning "loading" browser thing, just wait.

Too bad they can't figure this out
It's a big deal, even if some claim it isn't.

Mine is at commercial it says

Anyone have those youtube links from last week still?  Anyone know if they'll work for those who don't have the page open yet?

The container page direct link is:
https://www.cfl.ca/2025/05/16/preseason-week-3-winnipeg-blue-bombers-at-saskatchewan-roughriders/

Looks like CFL didn't add those extra servers... after nearly an entire week to work on it.

And clearly the problem is all of Sask and half of MB tuning in.  The problems don't occur for other team games (their fans don't care LOL!).

Maybe next year: don't have WPG play SSK, and make sure the WPG and SSK games don't overlap! LOL

PS: I'm available on a contract basis to fix these types of problems CFL!

Commercial is fine... CFL games never KO right at the alotted time, they have to do the anthems and other delays.  They should start the stream near when KO actually occurs.

I can't get in again. Listening on CJOB.
One game at a time.

Weird, my "live" stream just stopped on my open-all-day window and I had to switch to the window that took 120s to load.

That means if you you are seeing the ".../4:53" in the time meter instead of "* live" you probably have to hit reload on the container page to get back to the live stream!

Isn't this fun instead of just tuning into TSN!

PS yay, game just started!

Game is showing now, audio just kicked in.  If you can't see it, reload the container page or the URL I listed above.

Switching to the GDT...
