If NFL fans haven't noticed, for about 4 or so weeks, Shaw has been simsubbing (by CRTC threat) for CITY-TV, and the wildcard games this weekend were simsubbed on FOX-Detroit (ch 82). They were still available in original format on HD (ch 208) because the CRTC rules apply to a 50 mile radius of the CTV HD station (currently Toronto and Vancouver).
(There is a good explanation at this forum
http://www.satelliteguys.us/canadian...bowl-bell.html and the CRTC decision is here
http://crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisi...db2008-358.htm ).
In this case, it's sure not Shaw, but the glorious jerks at CTV.
AND, rumour has it that CTV Calgary will be HD on Jan 15.
If so, hello Canadian Tire ads, good-bye to the Super Bowl the way it's supposed to be. (And you won't be needing those 3-D glasses.)
