Great point.

And if the T.V. ratings remain high with out them…what is the CBC’s motivation to pay their announcers big money?

They can still charge more money for commercials.

"Esquimaux":

your going to listen to Bryan Hall comment on the game? Ha that guy was so annoying when I lived in Edmonton…but I do miss his afternoon show now, he’s the ultimate Shillmeister! Cant get a better deal than a crosstown deal! Tony roma’s ribs…I’ll tell you folks the meat is sooo tender it just FALLS off the bone! haha I guess he did his job right cause I still remember those pitches! His commentating can be awful though…here’s a typical example…
“Ok, folks, Esks have the ball at the 55 yard line, the QB drops back…oh, by the way…I was talking to my good friend Glen Say-therr last night, and you know what he said to me, he said…OOh and the ball is intercepted by the opposing DB!!” He would completely miss plays talking about this and that, and get distracted, is he any better now? I thought it was funny how his fellow broadcasters in E-Town all moved on to bigger and better things like Derren Dutchysyn and Perry Solkowski, but old Bryan Hall never got any such offers…oh well, CHED need him!

Lmao!!! He finishes plays and comments on the plays but now he cheers for the other team. Example- against BC, The Eskimos got a touchdown and he’s like, “Touchdown Eskimos!” but then when BC got an interception he’s like, “INTERCEPTTTTITOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN!!!” and now he talks about the new asian delights at “TR’s!!” lol the guy is hilarious, but annoying.
