If it is being simulcast on an American network, then watch it on the network it originates from.
This way the ratings for the NFL on TSN will be worse, and they will maybe come up with original programming for that time slot. Maybe they will even de-prioritize the NFL and recognize that Canadians prefer the CFL.
Same goes for golf or anything that TSN is simulcasting.
If people are watching the NFL on TSN, it's likely because they want to watch it.....so why would they be looking for TSN to provide alternate programming at that time instead?
I believe you're not seeing the point he's making.....you're seeking the "boycott" from the wrong people, TIMH.....the people who are watching on TSN are the people who generally want TSN to broadcast the NFL.
When it is simulcast, does TSN show different commercials. IF so, I am surprised they dont get to override the american the way other stations do for other shows.
This will not work. At least not for people watching on cable. CRTC regulations require that when a program is airing on both a Canadian source and American source, that the US channel will be overridden by the Canadian one. For example, when Global shows NFL football originally broadcast by FOX, tuning to the FOX channel will still show you the Global broadcast, complete with Canadian commercials.
Don't you think that if TSN had something better to telecast in that time slot they would not do it? Trust me, TSN is not telecasting the NFL for your benefit. It is the best program that is available at that time slot or should I say the program that will bring in the most revenue at that slot. If a co-ed team was fighting in the Amazon and Canadians by the millions wanted to see that, it would be on in the NFL time slot. Money is what it's all about.
It's Monday morning and my brain is coming out of hybernation so I could be wrong.
