I don't think the CBC is a good standard of Canadian sports broadcasting any more... this year they lost all Canadian Football League broadcasting rights to TSN (after CBC had it for 55 years)... they've lost the rights to the Hockey Night in Canada theme song to CTV (!?!), and CTV doesn't even have NHL rights, yet... and this is CBC's last Olympics (Bejing 2008), as CTV/TSN will broadcast Vancouver 2010 & London 2012 games. CBC has lost lots of their reputation... and with that lots of their sports broadcasting rights.cutterjohn said:as if it doesn't make it onto CBC it's not really worth bothering with
Sidenote... Curling is still quite popular in majority of Canada, including in form of TV broadcasts which CBC carries most of (but some on their specaility pay channels)... there are clubs\rinks all over canada and it's popular with all ages, though mostly popular with the older crowd. I believe it's coming more popular with the "beer league" crowd (19-35's, etc), partly because bowling has been on a downhill journey in Canada... my town of 80,000 we have 2 bowling lanes left open out of 4 we had only a year or two ago... in Victoria (provincal capital, 330,000 population) they have closed all their bowling alleys, yet there are still curling rinks (and cricket teams). but this big paragraph is all off topic... so... cricket on ds anyone?
