I've been watching the ads for Roger's Sportsnet 1, for the last few weeks without realizing its implications. It turns out that the new network is one designed to pull programs that already exist on other channels into a new subscription channel. Thus the Blue Jays have pretty much disappeared from the channels I was already subscribing to and are now available only on the new channel. Apparently the same thing is to happen to Oilers' and Flames' games.
I don't really care about the baseball, except that my wife likes to watch it. But requiring that I now pay extra to watch my hockey team is going a bit far. I have already phoned the CRTC over this and plan to phone my MP. I would like to suggest that anyone interested do the same. I am getting a bit tired of the endless ways TV providers in Canada find ways to suck cash out of their customers.
