Unlike many Canadians who seem to want to become Americans, I love
Canadian Football and have followed it since 1955. Am I dating myself? I have been around the block a few time and am not an old prude but by God they have literally destroyed a wonderful medium viz: (hope people know the meaning of that) Television. Tney could take a page out of the PBS book but then that would not be profitable would it? Has anyone ever counted the number of commericals during a movie presentation? Thank God for DVD players, I may be 86 and a retired teacher but I am not an electronic 'dummy'. I have been building elctronics since 14. A computer is child's play.If I have to pay Star Choice, my present provider, extra for TSN2, then bye bye Canadian
football and bye bye Star Choicel I have an antenna on a rotor and I can get 42 channels off air and 7 of them are HD. The HD will increase during 2009. How much is enough and where doe the GREED and little or NO competition end?

TSN aren't commenting on exactly who have signed on to carry their signals, from my understanding, Bell TV (ExpressVu), Shaw and Rogers are all upset with CTVGlobemedia, after CTVGM pulled their pllugs to the TSN Alternate feed when they refused to sign carriage agreements on TSN2. Maybe TSN2 won't be seen in most regions of the country, that makes me wonder how TSN can pull off LIVE broadcasting rights deals with F1, NASCAR etc and then only broadcast the live coverage on a feed less than 30% of the population could possibly view .

The local adult channel thing, I mean. Not the TSN2 thing.

Hmmm... if the whole journalism thing doesn't work out for me and I stay in Canada, at least I know I have something I can fall back on.
