Simulcast on CTV

Another interesting note (which might deserve its own thread?), is that NBC will be online streaming all its playoff games, including the Superbowl. Wonder if CTV will follow suit (doubt it).

Any simple google search for NBC Superbowl streaming will get you links for it.

cant wait!

Do Detroit!!! (long shot but eh!)

Will the NBC stream available in Canada? Usually they country-block such thing.

CTV has announced their wildcard schedule, and "lucky" for us, they are even going to simsub all the pregame stuff, including "Football in America. unless of course Simonizer has something to back up what he said (i still say its sarcasm, lol)

I would assume the NBC streaming will be geo-ip blocked, *everything* usually is, especially anything dealing with rights and what not.

I assume a simple vpn would get around it though.

Cleaned up the misinformation.

All four games will be simulcast on CTV.

Hi Hugh, pardon the not-so-bright one here.

By simulcast, do you mean simultaneous broadcast only or does that include simultaneous substitution, as in the standard practice?

I often use simsub and simulcast to mean the same thing, as does Hugh and many BDUs.

57 prefers to use simsub, as it is the most "correct."

However, since there were some BDUs in the not too distant past that were allowed to avoid the Super Bowl simsubs in some situations (until the CRTC stepped in), things got even more confusing than they needed to be:

[Rogers simulcasting HD channels?]

As posted by SuperDarrell71 in December of 2006 (post #93):

Simultaneous Broadcast, or Simulcast, is known in the industry by what you call simsub. I've been in enough stations to know that no one is running around calling it a simsub. Any rundown sheet for the day, even the BDU's that call and confirm times for it will refer to it as a simulcast. It's a shorter word for what we know it as. You know it as one thing, which is what the CRTC calls it. Doesn't make it correct in our industry. After all, the title of this thread is, "Rogers simulcasting HD channels?", which will probably change just to spite me.

In any case, thank you for watching CTV, Global, Citytv, and any other stations that simulcast...sorry, simsub. Now go off and write a strongly worded letter to the CRTC about how some station cut off your preview for next week.

I hate it when they use the "industry" term simulcast. It's a substitution of signal at the same time (simultaneously), hence the term we use here - simsub (simultaneous substitution).

Simulcast means it's "in parallel" which it is not, it's a substitution. They used to do simulcasts of TV programmes over radio to give better sound in the old days or to provide sound for concerts for people who didn't have access to a TV. That's a simulcast. What's happening on service providers is a simsub. /Rant

Absolutely *NO* shock that CTV is improperly framing the SD broadcast, theyve done it every week, and I guess the playoffs are no different.

And thanks for the bigger bug too CTV.

Who knew the NFL was an olympic sport.

only in Canada

Oh man, I just saw a nice follow-up commerical to Aaron Rodgers State Farm commercial, starring BJ Raji (his nose tackle). Priceless!

Hopefully you guys aren't tired of the same old Canadian Tire / Tim Horton's commercials yet... hang in there, only 5 more hours of them for tonight.

Its more about the 2-3 minutes that used *every* break for CTVs lineup followed by the abrupt cut back to NBC.

wow, tsn.ca is streaming it. wonder why they didnt announce it or advertise it or anything. lmao, it has the same olympic bug.

Well, here's the Sate Farm Part II commercial I was referring to:

Almost as good as this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMDz8SwNWoA

Or this:

But not quite.

tsn is showing hilights, and go figure, they have the proper aspect ratio (even with a ctv bug), so why the hell cant CTV do it? frustrating :mad:

Well, Rogers should drop the simsub if it is incorrect in any way, shape or form.

Maybe Rogers hires their employees from the circus without any Broadcast Engineering training... that would explain a lot of things!!!

Lol @ the Jets -- Pepsi commercial. I wonder how Pepsi feels about it now after how the Jets ended their season.

Not in the habit of giving ctv credit, but again, they are streaming both games today via tsn.ca

I dont believe the americans are getting any streaming today.

bug still sucks though. ;)

"beautiful shot of manhattan" says the fox announcers....

coming back a little late are we CTV... :mad:
