As many of you know, Sportsnet and TSN now have a 50/50 split on EPL TV rights. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
The schedule for August and September on TSN is now online:

Interestingly, there are a lot of days where they'll be showing four matches, and one day where they'll be showing five. The matches are split between TSN, TSN2, and TSN.ca. I wonder whether the TSN.ca matches will be free or require a special subscription?
Also, what does this mean for Sportsnet? In the past I have subscribed to Sportsnet World Online because it would guarantee me the ability to see every single Norwich game live. If it wasn't on TSN or Sportsnet, it would be on the online product. Sportsnet obviously has the rights to fewer games this year, so it will be interesting to see if they maintain the pricing of their online product, or reduce it to reflect the reduced schedule. Plus, with their acquisition of The Score, they now have SN, SN1, SN360 (The Score) on cable, plus SNWL as a premium channel.
