coppercanuck Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Does anyone know that the TV coverage will look like for the Prelim round for the Canadian winner? Is CBC's coverage dependent on TFC winning? Has another network, say FSWC, have rights through their parent FSC in the USA? Will the away legs be covered at all?

Mpenza Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 They've had a hard time decently covering the national championship, so I truly doubt they'll pick up the Champions League games. You know... they like to broadcast soccer, but not THAT much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Attack Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 CBC is only really interested in weekend broadcasts. I believe all of the Champions League games are mid-week. Meaning there is little chance the main CBC will want to pick these up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 You also have to consider that CONCACAF holds the TV rights to the CL, so that might mean they'll make sure ALL the games are televised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPjr Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 On the 2Gs Soccer Podcast on Thursday or Friday, they let it slip that Fox has secured the CCL TV rights. I don't know what that means precisely. Did they buy the rights to show all the games or just those involving US based team? Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched some of these matches earlier this year on FSWC. Pachuca versus DC, if I am not mistaken, was on. I also caught the semi final games in past years on the same chanell.

That may be for the United States, but not in Canada...FSWC has not had any rights for this tournament, nor have they even been in the running. CBC has the rights for the CONCACAF CL...it's there choice to air the matches themselves, put them on their digital station Bold or sell them to another Canadian broadcaster.

nazzer Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Stupid question. Is the SRC the french CBC? If so will this be shown nationwide so those in BC for example could see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 quote:Originally posted by jonovision That's pretty impressive that SRC will get TV cameras down to Nicaragua for this. I would be surprised if SRC is sending their own crew for this. I would think they are picking up a feed from Honduras and having commentators in a studio. Good on them for doing this though.

Norton Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Looks like CBC is picking up these games -- On Bold live with a midnight replay on the main network.
