kelownabomberfan Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 According to some tweets I saw that basketball thingy is apparently over now. Does this mean that TSN can now show the Bomber game on Friday?
USABomberfan Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 They should but according to this ... http://www.tsn.ca/tv#/ Doesn't look like it. Don't understand why though, 5 channels and 5 of them gotta show the 2015 US Open and Jimmy Kimmel's game night while the real game is going on.
USABomberfan Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 well check that, I guess that schedule they had there was assuming there would be a game 7 which there is not, so maybe yes those greedy bastards will get the game on now
iHeart Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 it hasn't been updated, but I agree now that the NBA season is over they have to show the Bomber game
GCn20 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 There is a heck of a lot more that goes into the decision making on broadcasting a game than having an available channel to do so. I agree, they should show the game. Does the NBA finals being over make much of a difference to TSN? Probably not a heck of a lot. Noeller and Rich 2
max power Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I'm no expert, but I'm guessing to decide to broadcast a game on 3 days notice would be a lot more hassle than it's worth for a pre-season game. Noeller 1

brett_c_b Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I would assume that with 5 channels if they wanted to broadcast the game they already would have been. I haven't checked the schedule, but I assume they didn't have 5 different things scheduled. With that said, I will hold out a small amount of hope that they'll broadcast it, but not expecting it.
Noeller Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 You can't just put an entire broadcast crew together on 3 days notice.... Lol. Let's enjoy some Irving, folks...
Jacquie Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 There are two other pre-season games on Friday if TSN did broadcast a game. The Esks/Lions game is at UBC so that one would be out of the running so it would be the Stamps/Riders game or Ticats/Bombers game. If TSN were to broadcast one of them which one do you think they would pick.

I haven't checked the schedule, but I assume they didn't have 5 different things scheduled. With that said, I will hold out a small amount of hope that they'll broadcast it, but not expecting it. That 5 channels thing is a bit of a myth. They have TSN 1, which is just the new name for TSN. TSN 2 is the same as it has been since it was created - secondary programming to complement TSN when two live events are shown at the same time. TSN's 3, 4 and 5 are really just regional channels (for Winnipeg, Ottawa and Montreal) that broadcast the same thing as TSN 95% of the time, and almost always only deviate when there is a local event (Jets, Sens or Habs hockey) shown only in that region (then we get blackouts of TSN 4 and 5). So they really are still only using 2 channels for TSN - the most I've ever seen is 3 different types of events on the different channels that you would consider "national" broadcasts. Kind of a pointless exercise expanding the channels like that, IMO. And despite what TSN and my cable company promised me, I don't get all 5 channels with the same cable subscription I had signed up for when they only had the 2 channels. My former TSN feed has now become TSN 3, and I don't have access to the main network anymore! Fortunately, as noted above, 95% of the time it isn't a problem because they are showing the same thing on 1 and 3 (and 4 and 5 for that matter). holoman 1

They actually use them for Tennis quite a bit...to show different courts at the same time.......and have started using it for curling, to show different sheets. But yes, most of the time, you are right...it's a re-feed of TSN.

If TSN were to broadcast one of them which one do you think they would pick. at this point I'd be happy if they did what they did for the Argo-Bomber game, just have a camera at the game, no commentators, and just stream it online. That CAN'T be that expensive, you just need a camera and some dedicated bandwidth. Blue-urns and shadybob 2

iHeart Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 well TSN 2 is showing golf (we need a yawn emoticon)

shadybob Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I just hope we can get a stream of the game like we did against Toronto. I did a quick search on twitter but couldn't find anything, has there been any mention of another stream?

Fatty Liver Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Hopefully Ti-Cats fans do enough caterwauling that the team takes it upon themselves to stream the game again. If Bomber fans tried caterwauling they would just send out O'Shea to stare at us until we crawled away weeping. Blue-urns and Noeller 2
