I plan on sending emails to TSN, The Score, CBC and MLSE, telling them how much I prefer Jack of Leo. I would urge the rest of you to do the same.

It's obvious who is preferred by most Raptor fans.

This really sucks .... Sportsnet would have 3-4 other NBA games in HD every week.

This also means less Jack

And more Leo :banghead:

One positive Raptors fans can find in all this is that TSN has invested a great deal in HD broadcasting so if you have a 1080i/1080p television then at least your games will look a lot more life-like.

The score's HD is getting better but TSN's clarity is right up there with Discovery channel and HDNET.

This probably has more to do with the fact that the ontario teachers pension is buying BCE, otherwise known as Bell. Since they wouldn't want to be assisting the competition.

Soon it will be, TSN supports the Coke, Colgate, Ford, Basketball Night in Canada.

The good news is that more games will be on free CBC HD.

That will never happen, but the least they could do is dump TBS for TNT.

Damn....sportsnet had lots of non raptor games on there pacific/west and high def feeds.

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2008 12:46 pm**

I remember the days when sportsnet had like 60 raptor games a year

I feel so much better about me switching to Bell this month from Rogers.

If Ted ain't supporting the Raps, I ain't supporting him. Too bad he owns the Blue Jays. The only reason to watch sportsnet now are for the Jays.

I live in Winnipeg and with my cable package I don't get the Score in HD or Raps tv in HD. But i do get CBC, TSN and Sportsnet in HD. Cmon MTS tv step up yo game. !!!!

I hope they replace it with curling.

Although, I hope they bring in announcers that can explain the game better, like Leo.

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2008 2:08 pm**

Doesnt really matter to me, I can still watch all the games

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2008 2:19 pm**

Great, now we get more Hockey Central next year to cover more of what's wrong with the Leafs....

Hopefully the Score picks up a lot more non-Raptor games, otherwise I may have to shell out for league pass.

Just **** marvelous. Anyways, yay More Leo. Well you see he was square to the basket...

Posted: **Tue Mar 18, 2008 2:42 pm**

More games on CBC is good news for the Raptors. Very good news.

And how do we know the analyst setup will be the same? Wasn't the breakdown of Leo/Jack networks just an arbitrary thing they did this year?

Sportsnet won't do Raptors next season
