CFL 2012 Season

[Mr Tony]

well this sucks

CFL games will not be aired on the NFL Network this year. However, we are currently working towards an agreement with another U.S. broadcaster. We hope to have an update on that front soon.

Watching the CFL on ESPN3 is just abysmal tonight. The video quality is poor.
Has the CFL ever heard of the concept of a "MULTI-YEAR" TV contract? It is ridiculous to constantly have to wait
until the kick off of the first game of the season to find out who is carrying the games in the U.S.

got a new laptop since last season and ESPN3 works much better.
the CFL would like to have "MULTI-YEAR" TV contract i'm sure just not happening yet.
glad the NFL did not get the games soon after their season started they just blew off the CFL games.
hope for NBC sports

oh contrair monfrar.....Rider home games were on free to air (no fibre at Taylor Field)
and if I remember right Friday Night Football was out there (one game if there was a DH)
...so they are out there..

rumor that Taylor was getting fibre. Cat's games should be feed next year unless they play homes at skydome.

growing up in the 60s by lake erie became a CFL fan before the AFL then NFL Fan. channel 10 out of London (cbc)
had more games than the other 2 leagues it seemed. like the CFL style better still.

At least ESPN3 is showing the games in widescreen HD now(at least they did the 2 games last night).

I found out the CFL will be showing 9 regular season games on the NBCSN starting 8/29 along with the conference semis and finals along with the Grey Cup.[the info's on CFL.ca btw]

Well that's something, but ncaa and nfl will be starting a week later. I would rather they started showing games now, when there isn't any other football on tv. Get people interested now, waiting till late August people are going to be ready for their college and pro team favorites. I'm sure they could do without 3hrs of Olympic coverage to show some football now thru August.
