BearcatSA Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 5 minutes ago, red card said: Beyond Olympics, sports is an insignificant part of CBC's mandate. There are basically no sports shown on linear French CBC tv. Aside from Olympics, sports isn't mentioned in their annual report. Olympic rights of $60-100 million per Olympics likely accounts for 99% of CBC's sports rights budget. CBC also went out of the business of paying to show pro sports around 2014. I was going to post something similar but you beat me to it. That won't be changing and the sports component might become much less in the future should funding be significantly decreased.

Joe MacCarthy Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Here's a look at what was on CBC Sports today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 How many viewers watch the U Sports National Cross Country running championships? They should get Hank Williams Jr to sing the intro to it: 🎶Are you ready for some runnin'?!🎶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Sadly, that might not be far off, but it's kind of why whether CanPL would receive more exposure elsewhere is the talking point in this thread. When they have had to put a game on Onesoccer's youtube account, 500 or so has tended to be the number streaming it and that's when it's not stuck behind a paywall. Suspect you could probably find enough friends and family to reach a similar number for a cross country running race that's a national final depending on how large the field is. Would be interesting to find out whether getting onto Fubo TV boosted the number of eyeballs per game in a big way. Suspect if it had we would already be hearing about it though and in a similar sort of way the numbers watching the recent final online would have been talked up if it was something good they wanted to crow about rather than something best kept under wraps. Suspect there are no easy answers on this because as much as CanPL wants to market itself as Canada's top league, most people are not going to see it that way when there are three Canadian teams in MLS and no current CanPL players are getting anywhere near a CMNT callup. The market is mainly going to be diehard fans watching their club's away games and that doesn't need an eight camera broadcast from Mediapro to cater to.

Useless idiot is a good way to describe your posting history on this forum. Good job posting literal propaganda on our forum too. Can't believe I was stupid enough to give you a second chance and unblock you, even though your actions in the past have proven you should be banned like Robert. I won't make that mistake again.

Joe MacCarthy Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 It's unfortunate I have to torch you in every "debate" we have because of your lying (remember the BMO thread). I didn't want to make the comment I made originally but you started the anti-Israel propaganda in another thread. I wanted to say something then and didn't, so I notified the mods. Nothing was done...so if you want something done you gotta do it yourself. I have seen this forum in the past talk about invisible forces that could bring it down, well if your original statement was allowed to stand I don't know what else could bring the forum down.

Actually, if the CBC had to earn its bread, I could see it increasing its sports coverage. Sports are cheaper to produce that original programming and it's probably easier to attract advertisers for the sports market than it is for a lot of the stuff they produce.

He's not trolling - just making reasonable estimates of the number of people who enjoy at least some CBC programming versus the number of people who are hardcore enough CPL fans to pay money for streaming.

I think they got outbid on some of the more popular sports because their mandate isn't profit driven nor is it to specifically provide sports coverage. I think a for-profit CBC would have tried much harder to keep the NHL and CFL games, for example. It's not an exactly correlated example, but no way would any private company have let the branding gold of the original Hockey Night in Canada theme song get away over a few hundred thousand dollars.

He kept hurling insults at me because I was not in favour of the Argos moving to BMO Field. I quit the Voyageurs for a number of years afterwards because I was tired that the mods would do nothing about it. My user name used to be Massive Attack I came back when the CPL kicked off as I started to feel positive about Canadian soccer again. For some reason I couldn't reuse my old user name Edited November 13, 2023 by narduch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
