CFL 2012 Season

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Next week starts the CFL season. I'm waiting to see if the NFL Network carries any CFL games this season. At least watching the CFL is a good appetizer until the start of both NFL & college football. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers should be debuting their new stadium this season.

It would be nice for NFLnet to show some, I'm running out of games from last season that I recorded and haven't watched yet.

There's talk that if the NFL Network doesn't get the games this season the NBC Sports Network might[worst case scenario is they'll be on ESPN3].

Try as hard as I can,I can NEVER take Arena Football seriously,but I look forward to the beginning of July when the CFL season starts because I feel like it is the start of "real football." Afterwards comes both college & NFL football.

We went to several arena games when the Talons were still in Tulsa but I have a hard time watching it on tv. I've enjoyed the cfl games for years, it's just hard to find them on tv. My uncle in Vancouver would record and send them to me.

Hope is on a network, love to catch any kind of football as I get ready for NFL and college

I use to watch a lot of the Hamilton and Toronto games when I lived in upstate New York. As some have mentioned, it is the 'appetizer before the main course'!

Hope someone picks up the game. I dont have my Canadian system anymore.
Maybe some will be on free to air

 

[Ramy]

Do any channels in the US show any of the games?

 

[osu1991]

ESPN 3 has streaming rights. Still waiting to see if the CFL is able to get a carriage deal with any tv stations before the season opens at the end of this week

 

[Ramy]

I can't get ESPN 3 even though I have Time Warner Cable because of their stupid policy of having internet only doesn't get it.

I doubt that is gonna happen unless TSN sells their broadcasts to independent border stations.

oh contrair monfrar.....Rider home games were on free to air (no fibre at Taylor Field) and if I remember right Friday Night Football was out there (one game if there was a DH)...so they are out there..

It has been mentioned in the forums over at CFL.ca that there is (but not yet announced) a new US TV deal that would start with the second half of the season plus the playoffs and Grey Cup. Many think it will be with the NBC Sports Network, but that is just speculation.

Was that last year? I am jealous because none of the Toronto Games are OTA.

The games are listed on ESPN3 on my Iphone for this weekend.

 

[osu1991]

ESPN 3 has had streaming rights for a couple of years. Was hoping for an actual broadcast network to pick up the start of the season.

yup

Watching the CFL on ESPN3 is just abysmal tonight. The video quality is poor. Has the CFL ever heard of the concept of a "MULTI-YEAR" TV contract? It is ridiculous to constantly have to wait until the kick off of the first game of the season to find out who is carrying the games in the U.S.
