Sportsnet is dropping NBA entirely.
CBC and TSN will be picking up its Raptor games. CBC will do 15-20 Sunday NBA games. Score will continue to broadcast the most games.
Sounds like Sportsnet will be the new Poker Channel
Sad we are losing those non-Raptor games although the Score is adding some.
Happy to get more Elliotte Friedman. Sad to be getting more Rod Black.
Such is life. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

This means sportsnet will televise more hockey games. There should be one channel covering all the games, I dont know why they dont have it like that.

This is terrible news because Sportsnet covered a lot of NBA games on Raptor off days.

Well that sucks. They used to show a lot of non raptors games on their networks. That means no more Jack (other than raps tv) and more of Leo?

Score is going to increase its non-Raptor games. CBC and TSN picking up Sportsnet's Raptor games.

Sportsnet is a joke of a station anyways. They try to hard to impress the young crowd. Sportsnet Connected just makes me lol.

Score can't possibly match Sportsnet. They were good for at least 3 or 4 non Raps game a week.

But they have a ton of NBA games during the week. Especially with all the regional channels showing different games.
