There isn't enough programming available for the channels we have now in Canada. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 25, 08:24 3
- heard an interview on the radio with the main guy and he mentioned Sportsdesk, talk, and reality shows taking up a bunch of the hours. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 08:28
- With what Rogers is planning with hockey, there's still lots to go around. Raptors will get onto only TSN or Sportsnet branded channels too. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:26 1
  - Like that's what Canadians need, more Hockey. I canceled TSN 2 because I hardly ever watched it, About the only thing I really missed was - Under the Influence Aug 25, 23:38
Next up on TSN5....the Table Top Tennis Invitational from Rochester, followed by the Canadian National Euchre Championship live from Moncton. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 25, 08:22
Winnipeg is ecstatic about the change. TSN dropped TSN Jets ($10/month) for TSN 3 which will become part of the basic package. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:08 9
- Oh yeah, I'm sure this will pay off eventually, and I presume this is sort of a soft launch -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 08:10 8
  - I've been watching the business story around MLSE lately with the new guy already leaving. Sounds like the Bell/Rogers shotgun marriage will end in... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:15 7
    - Rogers doesn't feel like the underdog in this area. I guess they didn't expect the City/NHL deal when that agreement was made. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 08:26 6
      - I've been watching Rogers grow their sports branding for almost a decade. The big push came in 2010 though. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:29 5
        
        Rogers is the company that basically patented the idea of "you'll pay more for less and like it!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 08:33 2
        
        Well, it's not like Bell has been any great shakes either. And Roger's content *has* improved. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:37
        
        but here are some extra places on the dial for the Shopping Channel for you! -- nm - zork Aug 25, 08:37
        
        TSN must be grateful that SN did the multi-channels first since they got roped into making them regional. The TSN channels are all national. -- nm - zork Aug 25, 08:31 1
        
        My understanding is that they are nominally regional. (TSN3 is said to be for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Territories.) But in today's cable age... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 08:33
