Is the CFL on any tv stations in the usa?

Question

Are there cable or satelite stations available to see the Canadian Football League games?

Answer 1

Only America One affiliates, which are small, low-powered stations usually located in rural areas. And they don't even have to show the games. I'm fortunate (?) enough to have an America One affiliate where I live (S. Utah), but this station only airs a few games. Last Saturday I was hoping to see the Eskies-Riders game, but instead a Paid Program (hawking the Cricut) was shown. This is what is known as "prior programming commitments keep us from televising some games."

Also, VOOM is no longer available via Dish Network. It was dropped back in May.

So, the long and short--there isn't much. One small ray of hope is that I chatted with a CFL Exec. last week (he called me after I emailed the league and complained!) and he told me that the situation would improve soon.

If you don't mind watching streaming video on a smallish screen, some America One affiliates stream their programming. Also, if you can get ESPN360 (most US households don't), you can watch streaming feeds to many of the games.

Answer 2

i have asked around, can't find any

Answer 3

So far, the only TV stations broadcasting 2008 CFL games in the US are some of America One network's affiliates and the VOOM HD channel.  Also, espn360.com broadcasts the America One feeds on the web.

Answer 4

Yes, it is shown on cable. I couldn't tell you off the top of my head on what cable channel, but it may be ESPN.

I have watched parts of the games sometimes.
