canucklesmith Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 just to comment on my own post, I could care less if the Canucks are broadcast nationally or on the CBC. All I want is to watch them on Saturday Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoastCanucks Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Think it's a joke that the Sens get 18 games and the Jets get 21 games on CBC while the Canucks only get 15. Both of those markets don't get come near the Canucks in ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Didn't we have quite a few more national tv games 2 years ago? It seems that the Jets have taken away some of our games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHodgson9 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 TSN is also a national broadcast, and one where I would MUCH rather watch the canucks. Save for the exceptional commentary of Jim Hughson, the network has 0 personalities I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navyblue Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I used to love Canucks games on CBC on Saturday nights before. Now with Mark Lee, Kevin Weekes, Ron MacLean, etc. it is unwatchable. Also, BRING BACK CHRIS CUTHBERT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks.brad Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 i have posted this before...and i will say it again. it is all about regions and truck deployments. ...regional broadcasts. CBC has 1 time slot for the 7pm game because it only accouts for BC/AB/Sask, everyone else is roughly 3 hours ahead. No one in Toronoto/Ottawa/Maritimes will stay up to watch a 7PM PST broadcast so why would they broadcast 2+. Montreal and Ottawa will probably share their truck, Toronto will probably get their own, and Winnipeg with probably get their own. Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary will share for the West. This makes it so at least 2 games will be available for watch during Eastern Prime time. Makes much more sense. Why would CBC show 2 PST games..say Calgary vs New Jersey (broadcast Nation wide) and then show Vancouver vs Columbus (BC&Yukon only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 This just in: Half the continent is asleep when our home games start. Nothing other than stopping or reversing the earth's rotation will end eastern coverage bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
