Has anyone else noticed this?

I am a Bell Expressvu customer in Calgary. There have been a couple of times in the past week where I haven't been able to watch CFL games on TSN HD. The first game was Winnipeg at Edmonton, and most recently Calgary at Saskatchewan. The message on the screen was these games were not being broadcast in certain markets, but I could watch the game on regular TSN (crappy standard vision). Instead TSN is showing some b.s. poker tournament.

I can understand these games being blacked out if I lived in either of those markets. But it's a 3 hour drive to Edmonton and a 6 hour drive to Regina. Why is TSN blacking out these games in Calgary?

Anyone else notice this? Is there a strange reason behind this, or does TSN employ lobotomized circus chimps to oversee programming? WTF?
