Sports Channels

I have been getting quite annoyed lately with the way 2 of Canada's sports channels decide to operate. 1st of all TSN. They claim to be "Canada's Sports Leader" . I think maybe they should change that slogan to "Eastern Canada's Sports Leader" If you ever watch Sportscentre you would think that the only teams in the CFL are Hamilton, Montreal and Toronto. Where is the team/player reports for the other 5 teams? How about a full 3 minute story on the play of Canadian receiver Robb Bagg? Or maybe how good of a leader John Hufnagle is leading the Stamps to a 6-1 record? Maybe a sit down with Ricky Ray? No. We get to see only the 3 eastern teams stories.

Next I would like to slap Sportsnet. Sure they have 4 regional channels which is good in a way. But why would you block Canucks, Sens, and Canadians games from the rest of the country? And with them being the sole broadcaster of the Jays, why launch a station that only people without Rogers Digital Cable get? Are you trying to make the rest of the Jays fans out there tune into radio broadcasts? Or just wait for the highlights to be on TSN cuz you guys are clueless when it comes to making a highlight show entertaining?

They've been saying for years that "TSN" stands for "Toronto Sports Network."
