TSN & Sportsnet Carrying All Raptors Games Next Season

[drizz]

TSN is the worst. They never show instant replay after a big play. Terrible production.

Next season's slogan- "TSN - We've got one guy in the truck"

[jlongs]

This sucks. I loved Raps games on The Score. But I guess they figured Bosh will be gone next year and the team will be in the dumps, so they're skipping next season. Might not be a bad idea for them profit-wise. I mean, who doesn't love poker or horse racing, or some other shit like that right? Right?

Will the Score still have Court Surfing? I hate (loath) TSN2.

[Bendit]

I am however glad to see CBC and that Friedman irritant gone. He creeps me out.

Why is that? You've got something against overweight announcer hosts with spiky, gelled hairdos?

Unless CBC nixed an extension, not having national telecasts is not particularly a positive for the Raptor brand...but then again TSN and Sportsnet may have expanded their national reach where it doesnt make a difference except to the Inuit and really far out communities.

[BomKeyzi]

No more Raps games on The Score? Nooooooooo!! Sportsnet sucks! The article also says a new sportsnet channel may be launched, sounds like another TSN2 screw over is on the way

[Multipaul]

Ahh TSN 2, the purveyors of the Jackie Awards. Gonna be another great year in broadcasting....so with CBC out, does that mean we won't hear those famous words out of Devlin's creampie mouth...."PUUUUNJAAAABIIIIIII"

But wait, did you see this in the Tor Star article:
"All games will be carried nationally, which may mean some of the games will be aired on a yet unlaunched Sportsnet channel."

Mother F*****, do you smell TSN2 all over again????

[Kennay]

Dammit I've got HD everything but TSN(2). And I'm not a big Jack fan. This sucks...

[da_goose09]

I loved the score, but I'm glad! Because here in Newfoundland we don't get The Score in HD with Rogers.

I've got a friend who works at the Score and apparently the owner is someone in the Robert Sarver (the Phoenix Sun's owner) mode . Meaning that if the Raptor games weren't making a profit, or enough of a profit compared to showing Poker or some other pre-recorded nonsense, then he'd just get rid of it.

So it may not be all MLSE's fault.

The Score better still have Courtsurfing though.

nah, it's not john levy(score owner) greg sansone has been messing with everything ever since he took over as head of programming.

it's starting to really piss me off.

[noname27]

Well i guess i will have to continue to watch raptor games on the web
Sucks to be a raptor fan in the US ( i moved a while ago )

[jrdyck]

It makes no difference to me because I have all the channels anyway and the in-game production is exactly the same regardless, so... big whoop.

I am however glad to see CBC and that Friedman irritant gone. He creeps me out.

Well if MLSE would have put a better team on the court and not alienate their fan base by putting their games on 5 different channels that not everybody can afford or have access to. As well as having a more reasonable affordable ticket prices then ratings would have been up to justify all this.

screw TSN2 and SportsNet, The Score and CBC did a great job over the years and now the television rights are sold to a more inferior stations so you can profit more?!

I bet Richard Peddie has something to do with this! He is the Mr Burns of MLSE! I can't wait until they come up with the announcement about the sale of ticket prices going up.

[Apollo]

I hate the games on TSN2. They should have given more games to The Score if anything...
