I really don't know what their going to play on TSN2. It's going to be repeats of CFL games and other events. Don't think there is enough content to have two live channels going. Although the channel will be helpful when there are two events at the same time, but that means someone gets bumped off the main network like what is happening to the Esks/Mtl game this weekend. (And I have trouble believing that no one foresaw this in TSN or the CFL offices to maybe say "hmm, TSN has contractual obligations to show golf at the same time we've scheduled a CFL game that TSN is also supposed to carry.") The CFL is getting screwed on this one and it may happen more and more now that TSN has a second channel. Push aside the smaller guy to play the big guy on the main network.
