matty Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Does anyone know how committed to the Canadian soccer they are? Is this just a passing thing or are they in this for the long haul? They actually seem like a good fit for Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Id be more than happy if TLN picked up the games going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The station has historically been soccer-crazy, but between CBC, TSN & Sportsnet having the rights to Canada's games, it hasn't been an option before. I'd be perfectly happy for them to pick up the slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1zzurri Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I hope its long term and we make the hex and the world cup and they get all the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Actually if memory serves, when TLN was "Channel 47" they did show Canada's games for the 1986 World Cup with Italian commentary done by Paolo Canciani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 If the games stay on TLN, and Gavin gets a partner to call the game with him, ill take it! I'm tired of hearing "Jaccckkssoonn withh a massive strike on net...... Pardon me Akindele" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oranje Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 And here all I thought TLN was good for was entertainment late Saturday night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Would rather it was on a channel I didn't have to pay extra for! Darn TSN and Sporsnet. Still unbelievable their lack of support, especially given the sports popularity and content thus far. I can only assume it is down to the punditry team threatening strike action and point blank refusing to follow us around and sit through our games, pulling their hair out like the rest of us. In all seriousness these Canadian providers need to sort this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been discussed here many times in the past the CanMNT does not draw well at all on TV, even relative to the low ratings the MLS receives in Canada.

I'm tired of hearing "Jaccckkssoonn withh a massive strike on net...... Pardon me Akindele" Can you imagine co-commentating with Rauter, they must get so annoyed when he talks over them with an "Oh!" every time the ball is remotely close to the net. On the subject of inappropriate commentary, Dick Howard screaming "gollllll de Canada" when we tied things up in Venezuela is a particular favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHF 47? CFMT? Still on 47 - cable 4. Rogers Omni 1. TLN did show soccer back in the 1980s ... though not sure cable went higher than 36 back then.

Alex Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Is TLN the likely provider for wcq games then? I currently don't have the channel... What are your thoughts? I'm not going through qualifying not having the games on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going through qualifying not having the games on tv. I wouldn't bet on anything. Not sure about your provider but it took me a 5 minute phone call to sign up for TLN so I'd wait for an announcement. It seems like at the very least the CSA will produce a Gavin Day led feed and put it on TLN, if the internet is good enough where ever they're playing.

Alex Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I had it for years with Rogers (channel 35 I think) now of course I can only get cogeco cable here and I'd have to order it. Ill have to to catch up on sexy car wash... Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
