The 3rd Annual "F*ck TSN" Thread

[rony31]

It's that time of year again. any Canadians/Bulgarians who would like to rant over TSN's continuing stupidity in deciding to show Curling over Champions League football. well actually dont get me wrong, they do show games taped at 3:30am once in a while (since it's my reading week I'm staying up to watch Milan-Celtic tonight)


but back to the point:

FCUK YOU TSN

 

[::shinji::]

Yeah I was bitchin' about this earlier... they do this sh!t every year whenever that Scott Tournament of Hearts in on. I don't what it is man, nobody likes f*ckin curling other than people in their 80's.. I was hoping TLN would be showing the CL game also, but nooooooo

TSN had a f*ckin' dog show on the other day...seriously.

I'm really happy they're not getting the Toronto FC games! That would have been a dissapointment waiting to happen..

EDIT: The Real Madrid/Bayern game is live on RDS if you have it. I don't..

 

[rony31]

well today they had BOWLING until 2:30, World Strongman Challenge til 3, and now Curling til 6... honestly do these things get better ratings than CL?

The Sh*t Network

 

[rony31]

so I'm not watching Celtic-Milan at 3:30am on second thought... figure I dont need to give them 1 extra viewer for that kind of match

 

[Awax]

I watched the game on RDS (thank God Catherine Douville was missing today).

Can you get it in Toronto or outside Quebec ? I thought you could.

 

[rony31]

ya I used to have RDS but got rid of it after the Tournament of Hearts was over... should've got it back since then

Well that proves that the average age of the Canadian population is around 70

 

[Help?]

TSN is a big corporation with a vision for the future. A few years down the road, 50% of the canadian population will be retirees, so TSN is trying to adjust now, so that they can make more money in the future.


Now wether they should still be allowed to keep CL rights in Canada or even be called a "SPORTS" network after showing curling, poker, bowling etc., that's a different story.

 

[dipset]

ya'll should sent complaints to the networks ...it works...when thiers a bunch of ya

 

[Paulo Da Silva]

im sick and tired of TSN. its all bout Sportsnet and the Score (I hope to god they get CL rights-- they would do things right)

 

[yoyo913]

I was going to make this thread

THEY SHOWED ******* CURLING INSTEAD

luckly i had a french sport network that i got through digital cable that showed Bayern Real

 

[::shinji::]

didn't RDS used to be free with rogers digital? I swear I used to have it but not anymore..

EDIT: Oh wait...they're showing the games a day later tape delayed....greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!

 

[Hopeunited]

I spam mailed TSN last year around this time due to an incident like this. Will do it again.

Yeah, that schedule is bang on, which is the problem



didy: i don't think that even if TSN got a thousand of e-mails complaining about scheduling, would they still change anything. The channel is turning more and more recreational and leisure and less and less athletic. And unfortunately sportsnet seems to be following the suit as well.

And they complain about having fat lazy kids . You can't watch sports, you gotta pay **** loads of money to play sports, when you want to rent a field with 4 people they tell you to pay 35 bucks for the field, but when you have 10 people they say "pay 5/person" and you can't even rent to play on an indoor "SOCCER" field in winter because some old people rent it all out to fly their RC motor toy airplanes . **** THIS COUNTRY. They better hope that my ass doesn't end up going to big schools and becoming the PM of Canada, otherwise this country will see some major reconstructions.

Problem is... the baby boom is getting old and they are the ones with the most buying power. I work in market analytics and it is crazy the effect they have on the marketing mindset of EVERY company.
