Actually the people listening in on the radio get the same announcement/announcers as those watching on TV.Originally posted by kurtz
Has anyone ever listened to basketball on the radio??
Does the announcer yell "GOALLLLLLL" on every hoop?![]()

i'm still puzzled as to why none of the canadian mainstream channels are carrying the raptors playoff games. what happened to ctv/cfto?
Probably because playoff broadcast rights are exclusive. Networks probably dish out large dollars for this. TSN/Sportsnet probably syndicate the broadcast from TNT/TBS only because we don't get those channels here. If we did, then those game would probably only be on those channels.Originally posted by Klubmasta Will
if you watched the last game on tv, you would have seen them mentioning the television time for tonight's game.

thats why they simulcast the games. 95% of the raps games are televised.Originally posted by Klubmasta Will
^^^ i would think the vast majority of canadians do not subscribe to TNT.
i know. what i'm asking is why don't any of the mainstream canadian channels either carry the simulcast or do their own broadcast?Originally posted by qtip

Do you read Chris Zelkovich from the star? He is their media and sports columnist and touched on this topic lately.Originally posted by Klubmasta Will

of course it will be expensive but there is prestige in carrying these events. just look at the bidding wars that the american networks go through for the rights to show regular season nfl games, the superbowl, the world series, wimbledon, the masters tournament, etc.
CBC has hockey so it's understandable that they aren't interested and Global has a powerhouse prime-time line-up. i can't believe that none of CTV, CityTV or CH11 are interested.
and believe it or not, the mainstream channels dont want to upset their fans of shows like law and order or friends or whatever because they own the sports channels and want them to migrate there so it wont make sense to lose thousands of viewers b/c of a raptors game. and the national channels are national so people in Chiquotomi BC dont care about vince carter as much as they do about Pheoebe, monica etc.Originally posted by Klubmasta Will

i've got to start a petition for them to stop doing this shit immediately!!!! our pre/half/post games show make me embarrased to be a canadian.Originally posted by qtip
the canadian channels then put in a canadian half/pre/post game show to save the money to make it look like a canadian telecast.

only leo rautins and chuck swirsky have anything worthwhile to say.
perhaps you're confusing it with TBS, which is TNT's sister network.Originally posted by Disco Stu
TNT is included in basic cable these days isn't it?
