SpursFlu Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 All this Sportsnet coverage raises an eyebrow. That would be the only chance at cable in my opinion because MLS and TSN's relationship would probably stand in the way of anything over there MtlMario and DrFitzpatrick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I mean Sportsnet did pay like $500m for NHL. I'm thinking CPL could be had for less. Could be worth a roll of the dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth a roll of the dice. $5.2 Billion over 12 years. Much more likely CPL would have to pay to get on the air or outright purchase the time and try to support the production via commercial revenue. I doubt the original CSL made a cent from TSN.

ESG Shawn Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 On the topic of production, I'm guessing Pacific and Halifax are the two clubs that will need some investment into broadcasting capabilities at the stadiums. I'm not sure about York. Cavalry, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Hamilton shouldn't have any issues broadcasting HD content. The reason I bring this up is that the product needs to look professional on TV. To capture the average viewer, you can't have a TV camera pointed at the hydropole with no fans on that end in Victoria. I'm guessing people smarter than me have considered this in the stadium designs. CDNFootballer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpursFlu Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Vancouver Canadians just signed a broadcast deal with Sportsnet Pacific. People outside of the Lower Mainland might think wtf single A baseball but they are very popular here in Vancouver. Arguably more popular than the Lions, definitely considered "cooler" lots of talk about how regional broadcast deals are the future of sports tv as teams become more regional and very few teams still maintain a national interest. I see CPL teams nicely slottingin to Sportsnet regional coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 For what its worth the survey on the CPL App asks what you would like to see most as part of the app and live streaming games is one of the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see as follows: TSN - Because the CSA already shows their games on the station. Telelatino- To have a multiultural broadcaster. Possibly CBC, but I dont know. I would prefer CPL games to be on CBC, (game of the week) but who knows, right? Since the CBC is SUPPOSED to show things of cultural significance to Canadians, they should be showing this league. But I don't see that ever happening. I also don't see TSN or Sportsnet showing it either because it will be too small. Maybe DAZN will pick it up if the CanPL provides them a feed? toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the MLS commissioner has stated that he doesn't see CanPL as a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big a threat is the question but i can guarantee theyre not amped about the CPL I would also like to challenge this notion of the CPL being "too small". CPL has one very big thing going for itself that the CFL always enjoys over NBA, MLB and even to a certain degree NHL. You always have the benefit of 2 Canadian markets Edited December 5, 2018 by SpursFlu Winnipeg Fury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing people smarter than me have considered this in the stadium designs. Edmonton doesn't have permanent broadcast capabilities. In the past they have needed to bring in a mobile production studio, as well as set up lifts behind the goal to mount a camera. This is one of the big reasons for Edmonton pressuring the city to upgrade the stadium. Clarke stadium is just an ancient cement bleacher with 2 food sales areas. FC Edmonton brought in the metal stands on the opposite side, and would truck in a portable bleacher for behind the goal each game. The City of Edmonton needs to step up big time to support the team.

When showing us renderings of the stadium at a meet the owners night they talked about the cameras being mounted on the hydro pole side facing the full stands. They are well aware that they need to make the stadium look as good and as full as possible on TV.

FCE have the means/experience for HD broadcasting, when NASL secured National TV deals with CBS Sports and beIN Sports all NASL clubs had to invest in 7 camera HD quality setups. CPL should have similar minimum requirements from the get go for each club in order to present a top tier product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a recent interview I was told that the clubs are expecting the specifications that they need to meet for broadcast purposes but haven’t yet received them from the league. But they know they’re coming so even if Pacific and Wanderers don’t have any broadcast setup it sounds like they know that they will need to and that they will be in the process of sorting it.

For some of the season, not all. Like everything else in their temporary stadium, I suspect they have a plan. Their plans for porting the first stadium to the second are rather impressive.
