I walked into a sports bar the other day, and Sportsnet was showing a Fox Sports Net feed, the Score was showing an ESPN feed, TSN was showing a Versus feed, and TSN2 was showing something from ESPN2. Wow, talk about Canadiana!!! Well, where else would they put all the programming they get from ESPN2 anyways?

The 10% limit allows them to have an NHL game's worth of distinct programming for about six days every week.

I think that "10%" may end up seeming like much more, since it'll fall in that sweet spot on evenings and weekends when the time slots are in demand.

I really thought it would air "original" programming, but 90% of the same thing, that's sofa king wrong... Well, i thought TSN2 was airing other things, thanks for clearing this out.

There's been a few times when I wished I had it, so thanks for the news. I guess TSN is one of those things that'll come in handy when there's a conflict and one of their properties gets bumped.

They're getting people hooked by airing live coverage of different events on TSN and TSN2 when the two are simultaneous.

Do you really need a channel that offers a delay of its main station? It's just more clutter on the TV dial. Why not record your show from TSN, and watch it later?
