TORONTO (CP) - TSN will broadcast the entire two-game Labour Day showdown between the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The sports cable network announced Friday it will broadcast the Sept. 10 rematch between the two teams at the Rogers Centre.
CBC was originally scheduled to carry the Sept. 10 game as well as the Labour Day contest Monday at Ivor Wynne Stadium, but an ongoing labour dispute has forced the CFL to move both to TSN.
The CBC has locked out 5,500 members of the Canadian Media Guild, leaving it without camera, technicians, directors, announcers and commentators. Talks between the broadcaster and union have resumed.
The CBC aired Saturday night's game between the B.C. Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders without on-air personnel for the second consecutive week. It is scheduled to carry the Edmonton Eskimos-Calgary Stampeders contest on Monday without commentators.
The addition of the Sept. 10 contest boosts TSN's total number of games this season to 56, the most in its history.
"TSN continues to be a great partner of the CFL," commissioner Tom Wright said in a statement. "We are delighted they will complete the Toronto versus Hamilton back-to-back series with the broadcast of the second instalment, the Labour Day Classic rematch."
