On Saturday Night, Sportsnet will air it's last UFC Event for the foreseeable future. The reason I'm saying this is because on Friday, Dave Meltzer reported that UFC Programming in Canada will move to TSN starting in 2015. UFC Programming has aired on Sportsnet for close to a decade now but the deals that Sportsnet made with the NHL, MLB, and WWE made the promotion expendable on the Network. Here's the link to the story below. www.mmafighting.com/2014/12/19/7423375/tsn-looks-to-be-the-new-home-for-ufc-programming-in-canadaCanadian LAW Message Board Members, What's your take on the UFC's TV Deal in Canada with TSN? |

TSN is the grandfather network, most of their programming shows little to no respect to the sport.
Too bad Sportsnet overreached with MLB, I know noone who watches baseball, but I overhear strangers asking each other who is going to win...that Rousey girl or Cat? Cat? Zingo or something.

So has Jim Rome, doesn't make it right. Both are hacks and they have offer nothing but biased opinions and are manufactured douchebags.

makes no difference to me, as I get all Sportsnet channels and all TSN channels. But TSN is the more well known network and the bigger audience, even with them losing the NHL package for the next 12 years or whatever it is. Sportsnet blew their load on the NHL package and TSN needs content. So this makes sense. Been rumored for months, just official now.

As long as it doesn't get thrown up on TSN3, 4, or 5. Still not sure why they need 5 channels, most of the time they;re simulcasting on four out of five stations anyway.

Think TSN added extra channels mainly becaus sportsnet have a hundred channels. Useless channels IMO, I honestly don't see the need for broadcasting shows where two people talking about the leafs and raptors for 3 hours straight. |
