They made the deal knowing Rogers was likely to dig in on carrying TSN2, since Sportsnet has nothing live left but regional NHL games. <BR/><BR/>A couple readers have made this point. Rogers is just getting scapegoated.<BR/><BR/>TSN also committed to more live programming than there are hours in the day. The bottom line, in 10 years when IPTV takes off and the cable companies collapse, we'll look back on this and laugh.sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757652892056684490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-55259456392216027852009-03-18T12:13:00.000-04:002009-03-18T12:13:00.000-04:00Do you think this might have just a little somethi...Do you think this might have just a little something to do with the fact that TSN is owned by Bell, Rogers' biggest rival in the cable/satellite field? I can't believe that people keep missing this obvious point.Dennis Prousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117649570711228161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-1214644960125999942009-03-18T09:06:00.000-04:002009-03-18T09:06:00.000-04:00I blame rogers and tsn/mlse for this mess.If tsn s...I blame rogers and tsn/mlse for this mess.If tsn said ok were going from a free alt to a paid full time channel starting sept 2009.Then that would give cable and dish companys more then enough time to get things worked out.But no tsn gave providers about 30 days which really is not much of a notice.One other thing i think tsn airing some events only on tsn2 i think is upsetting more people with both tsn and rogers.As for the cable giant rogers they doa lot of stuff good but sometimes it seems they are not getting channels there customers want.There is a demand for rds hd tsn2 yet it is taking along time to add them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
