TORONTO — The Canadian Football League has shifted its Week 1 contest between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Edmonton Elks on Saturday, June 8, to a 2 p.m. MT/4 p.m. ET start time.
Great choice by the Elks!
Talks of having a watch party on top of it all!!
Smart move by the league, will definitely boost attendance.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO TSN!!!
Please tell your Cable Networks to update their online TV Guides with the Elks-Riders Game Time Change if you want viewers to see the commercials that were purchased for this game. I want to see this game but I’ll have to PVR it because on Saturday I have the 4 hour drive home from attending the Calgary-Tigercat game the night before. I’ve found I can’t PVR the game because the Rogers/Shaw TV Guide has not been updated. If this is not done I would encourage all TSN advertisers, their advertising agencies and media buying services to insist on “MAKE-GOODS” for all their purchases getting either cash refunds or above purchased additional commercials for lost viewers because of this game time change.
I am familiar with this problem. On an old style PVR you can record by time, not just by program. If you aren’t able to do that you can set your PVR to record the shows that are shown in the guide to take place during game time, such as 4 Sportscenters in a row. This works too.
No worries - TSN is far better than the other sports networks about pushing out programming changes. Bet if you check at dinner time its already changed…
(Nascar fan - TSN would push out schedule changes in hours when a race got rescheduled.)
