Every sports broadcast has its issues, especially when you're looking at broadcasting a multitude of games every night across the nation. Take a deep breath, settle down and wait for the network to work through issues that it has probably already noted and enjoy the fact that you can sit at home and watch a variety of national games as opposed to leafs/habs the majority of the time....which was the case when you consider your beloved CBC broadcasts. If TSN had to mass produce on this level right now you can be guaranteed they'd be snuffing up a little as well.....CBC sure had its moments (you'd never know based on your warped recollection of the past though).
P.S. Rogers has pretty much had exclusive rights for all but a few Flames games for years. This is why I find it categorically hilarious that you had no problem (which I'm assuming since you've only now crawled out of the woodwork regarding this issue) with the broadcast in previous years when we actually had bush league talent like Rob Kerr calling games.

I've addressed pretty much every single thing you said, and you're just repeating yourself.
The 'there are important things in the world' argument is the weakest crutch of an argument anyone can use. Pretty much akin to the argument against internet privacy of "what do you have to hide?".
The 'letter' people are talking about here would take 5 mins. I still have a ton of day left. Why am I even bothering looking to sales on food when there's ebola around? Just go buy ramen, stuff it in your face and worry about fixing the chaos of the world!
But no one has asked YOU to be upset about Sportsnet. Considering you're really into poorly thought out 'bomb everything' arguments, I have one for you: don't click on a thread titled 'Let's Do Something About Sportsnet' to talk about how you don't want to do something about Sportsnet.
And why do you assume I liked the Sportnet coverage of the Flames before this year? I never have, they were always the worst. Exclusive rights to ANYTHING should be something consumers are against. We rarely ever win. The fact that the garbage we're seeing is the result of that is just salt in the wound.
