Question

This is no proof! Where's the proof it will be on US TV in 2008? I need my CFL!!!?

Answer 1

I listen on Sirius. Usually channel 119.

Answer 2

None of the regional sports networks that carried the CFL last year appear to be carrying it in 2008.  Altitude and Comcast SportsNet Chicago have confirmed in email they're not carrying CFL this season.

America One's website currently says they're carrying about half the games, which is fine if you have a low-power UHF station nearby that broadcasts America One.

I emailed CFL Commissioner Cohon about the possibility of putting games on ESPN360 (free broadband).  He said the league's currently working on that.  TSN (the originating broadcaster) is owned by ESPN, so it's very likely that deal will get done.

The US broadcast schedule hasn't been finalized yet, for whatever reason.  Hopefully it will be done by the time the regular season starts.

Answer 4

If you want to watch the CFL in the States, Ihave heard of people getting it through Comcast but maybe you can get TSN through satellite?

Answer 5

America One is now announcing on their website that they will return as US syndicator for the CFL when the regular season begins on June 26.  That page was only added within the past week.  According to a schedule with a last updated date of 6/10, it looks like they expect to broadcast two games per non-bye week in 2008.  I would guess that they're just working with all of those regional sports channels to schedule who gets what games when and will announce the specifics shortly.  If not, you might want to see what station in your area might carry America One as its affiliate.

Since TSN just announced their Canadian broadcast specifics yesterday, I would expect the American broadcast specifics to follow very soon.
