the only way to watch nascar racing is on american tv programming. for some reason which boggles my mind the canadian coverage of this sport in the last 35 to 40 years has really stunk.

I would love to watch DirectTV, but the CRTC bans it! Maybe we should ban the CRTC? What happened to Free Trade when it comes to the media???

I would love to hear 10 NASCAR channels on Sirius, the CRTC bans it!

The CRTC's reasoning for Canadian content is to preserve Canadian culture? Well, since growing up in Ontario in the 50's & 60's, I don't see much Canadian Culture left??? I guess singing God Save The Queen, The Nativity scene, the Lord's Prayer in schools, taking off ones hat in Legions, the RCMP having to wear a Mountie's Stetson is not considered part of the Canadian Culture???

Getting back to the argument about Free Trade and Canadian content, why can't I see Canadian content protected in the auto industry that I work in? Come on, we can't have it both ways. TSN does what they want, because they know they don't have any competition to speak of, the CRTC protects them!

I wonder how many people were taping the race and are going to discover that the last 5 laps are breathtaking women's curling action

HARD HARD LOL.

TSN really made a huge mistake yesterday IMO. How many people don't have FOX to switch to? NASCAR should just pull TSN's contract and then we wouldn't have to watch anymore Lilydale freakin commercials

NASCAR doesn't lose money in this deal. As NASCAR Paid Big Bucks to be called NASCAR Canada. They can't even sell the commercials to make up the money they had to pay NASCAR. It makes NASCAR look bad as what they did but I guess pissing of a few thousand fans doesn't matter too much too them.

True a lot of people use the PVR's to record and they are going to catch the first end of curling and be pissed off.

I had it recording as well as I wasn't sure if I would be home for the race but I was.

Lets see if they call anyone back maybe you will get a free Subway sub or a lily dale coupon.

TSN does not have a contract with nascar

TSN pays Fox to simulbroadcast, Fox has that in their contract with NASCAR.

Could we have missed a few rocks being thrown? sure, but TSN cannot afford to lose the Briar and Scotties, if it was a normal game then they would have stayed with nascar.

They do pay to be called NASCAR Canada. The races I and everyone else knows they pay FOX for this feed.

The whole point your missing Thayne. They have it taped and they could have stayed to the end of the race and started the curling a few minutes later and had a banner on the bottom of the screen saying the briar would be on after the race. If anyone noticed they re-aired the briar again at 3am till 6am.

I guess TSN did a study that showed people watch the Briar at 3AM?

I have bell expressvu and I make sure I pvr the foxhd channel. You still get the lilydale crap but at least you see the end of the race. A similar thing happened with the tsn alternate channel last fall & there was lots of screaming then.

Evan, the part you dont get is that you D0N'T Tape delay what you are paying the most for!

What they shoulda done was move the race to TSN2...

I have lots of knowledge of the inner-workings of TV and radio and only the 300 thousand or so ppl watching the race are gonna be mad...the 2.6 million watching curling are happy...not to mention if they missed an end and the commercial island there they would be in deep shit.

i think evan that tsn is not nascar canada, there is a marketing arm called nascar canada which is completely seperate from the canadian tire series, altought they maybe be pwnd by the frances company.

The curling was supposed to start at the top of the hour. Did anyone else notice when curling showed up for about 10 seconds then? TSN obviously already made a decision to stay with the race. When they did change over it was about 20 after the hour or something close to that. There were 5 laps left then and a restart was going to happen. They couldn't wait until the bottom of the hour or say if the race wasn't over they were switching at the bottom of the hour so go to FOX? Instead we got curling on the screen and GO TO FOX huridly announced almost as the green flag waved. I guess the CARP lobby got to them Â

TSN made a huge deal out of the fact that they purchased the rights to be NASCAR Canada. Are they now having buyers remorse? If so get out!

TSN2 would have did nothing as you can't get this on rogers. It was all about 5 Min's. People still would have saw the curling on time delay. I know that they could have done this as the have done this before. No one would have been mad as they would have still got everything and no one would have missed anything.

You ever notice the same commercial run twice one after another. that is not a mistake. They have to do this as the advertiser paid to have a certain amount of their commercial run on that show or in that time slot but the TV station couldn't get it in for some reason so instead of losing money, so they show the same commercial 2 times in a row.

I think the race ended in what 5 Min's after they cut away?

It could have been juggled if they did it right. There is more races on TSN then curling and what they did is lost a lot of viewers because what they did. Next week I'm recording on FOX.

I have learned to extend the record time on races as sometimes there is a rain delay now you need to get the pvr to switch to fox near the end of the race. Who Knew
