Putting it on CHEX was borderline ######ed though. There is no reason at all to expect that very many people in the country would get the local channel out of Peterborough. This was CBC thinking about Toronto only, and damned be the rest of the country.

Meanwhile, TSN had soccer replays on both channels when they could have broadcast the game. For all the problems Sportsnet will have, at least conflicts like the ones CBC set up won't be one of them.
The ridiculous thing is that TSN gave up the Rangers/Flyers game yesterday to Sportsnet 360 but CBC sticks their games on CHEX.
