Daniel Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 If it's broadcasting the U20 friendlies, which aren't FIFA competition, I would guess so. The Gold Cup on CBC, presented by Hyundai, Adidas and Yahoo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Quite a day. Quite a day indeed. When has there ever been this much good news coming out of the CSA? Not sure how much of this crop of happy developments are carry-overs from the Pipe era and how much originated with Linford but if this is what he and his have been up to instead of hiring tech. directors, CEOs and NT coaches then much can be forgiven. Hell, for no other reason then the sad memmories of the National Stadium fiasco even if the Hyundia/Yahoo and CBC deals were initiated under Pipe's watch it was Linford who has made them happen. We'd all be looking forward to matches at New Varsity instead of New Ex/BMO if the man was more involved just a couple of years ago. That man IS a closer. Or he at least knows how to hire one and that's good enough for me. Untill someone tells me differently, our Mr. Linford gets the credit (simply because there is no-one else of authority at the CSA these days).

thepatriot Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Currently no one holds the rights for Canadian Soccer. The Gold Cup will NOT be on CBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to show CBC's interest in soccer in they don't pick up the Gold cup, the just want the "biggies" tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildguy27 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 It is very dissapointing a Canadian Network of some kind would not even buy the rights to cover games Canada is playing, or atleast the Gold Cup should be enough of a "biggie" to have some coverage of.

Not to play Devil's Advocate or anything, but the CBC will be putting out a whole whack of footie this summer in the way of the WYC and maybe, hopefully, a few lead up friendlys. May be a bit shy about throwing even more footie out-there. They've already gone from famine to feast in a single season and may fear "over exposing" this new product. Of course on the other hand, a good Gold Cup run by Canada would be a huge marketing vessel to promote the U20 tourny. So as the host broadcaster of that tourny you'd hate to loose that opportunity by not having Canada's matches broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhat Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 The Gold Cup will probably be shown on FSWC, if not CBC, Sportsnet, GolTV, or Country Canada. If we don't hear anything by May, we should petition any of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepatriot Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 How about petitioning IMG Canada and Soccer Properites Canada for their lack of organization and communication.....maybe there is a reason why a deal has not been done with ANYONE! Let's just say there was more than one network available and willing to carry the Scotland games and Bermuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all intents and purposes, it is CBC 2. http://www.cbccountrycanada.ca/ db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
