Keegan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 $$$$$ and low viewership. TV company is a business in it to make money. Canadian nat team friendlies against a team ranked 160 in the world away from home are a money loser. And with CBC cuts coming left right and centre, no way a publicly funded corporation like that picks it up. Youtube stream is better than some grainy non english illegal stream. I'm referring to CSA coverage. Their own coverage is all on them (the CSA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king1010 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 We'll be wearing white. (And it looks like Nutella is the half time snack along with some pears and oranges) From CSA twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm referring to CSA coverage. Their own coverage is all on them (the CSA). I kind of agree. I mean it's possible, if they had the money, to put together a TV broadcast themselves and sell to Canadian media providers but that's unlikely. They could also put together a somewhat better than current web broadcast and post online for free or for a fee. The fact that they continue to rely on stadium provided wifi shows that they don't have the budget to even procur they're own telecommunications link. I mean theoretically they could have 2 or 3 camera guys, one producer, a broadcast rig and satelitte connection anywhere, for a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Oh. Do you follow them on twitter? What more coverage do you want? Another Gavin day type person employed? A video, training? Anything?

BuzzAndSting Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 A video, training? Anything? Oh, great a weather update from Puerto Rico... They have had a lot of this in the past so it must come down to either a budgetary decision, an admistrative decision or a resource decision.

Me thinks it has to do with friendly vs wcq vs gold cup. The ladder will get better coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CSA has had some pretty great media people in the past, like Max Bell, who would produce content for all games. I wonder if those resources have been allocated elsewhere with the upcoming WWC.

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The CSA is ready to film every single game exactly like the Day filming for Guatemala, from the centre line, single camera. With sound, which really intimidated me when we played Mauritania as I was right beside the camera and was too shy to have my off-colour chants heard for internal CSA posterity. So, if there is no tv coverage, the CSA films. Always. All they have to do is link it as they did last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Filming it themselves and putting it on Youtube is like a quantum leap in MNT coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barthez-Battalion Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The only thing I don't like about Floro is he never experiments on gameday. Would have liked to see a Grant or Larin start a game. Same XI as last game. Disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob.notenboom Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Stream link (fully realize it's above but this might save ppl some searching ) - Lineup plus # of appearances - https://twitter.com/richardscott187/status/582674926005534720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David C. Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Same XI as last game. Disappointing. I wonder if this is going to be our first-choice starting line-up going forward (for the near future) - only with Hutchinson (over Bekker) and Hainault (over Jakovic, Ledgerwood or Piette).

xcalibre Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Potential stream from butter pecan media here http://www.ustream.tv/channel/futbolprenvivo So this is no good but it looks like some locals in the chat might have access to a Spanish radio link and are giving updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
