Well it's not just the cable operators. Sports are by far the most expensive channels on cable/satellite television for the distributors.. TSN and Sportsnet gets about $16 per subscriber a year, whereas CBC News gets about $6, Comedy gets about $4, YTV gets about $3 and The Score around $2.50.
(All the numbers for each channel are here BTW: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/publicatio...l/ipsp2011.htm )

15 games a month would be at least $150 a month, and that's if you're the worst bar patron in the world.

Has anyone actually had luck making changes? Just called Shaw and they wouldn't let me.
