Pac-12 Network in Canada? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Any words if the Pac-12 Network is going to be available in Canada?

Well we got a precedent, BTN got let in despite TSN complaining, since it was considered a "niche" service. But I don't know; would Shaw like it? Are there many Washington/Washington State fans in Alberta and B.C.?

TSN needs to keep their mouth shut.
Maybe if TSN bothered to show more college football there wouldn't be a demand for these "niche" networks.

Anyone have an update on the Pac 12 network? I know it starts broadcasting Aug 15th but I haven't heard if any cable or satellite provider his as applied to pick it up.

Nothing yet.

Best we can hope for is that individual games show up in the Rogers and Bell packages, like BTN used to do before it was fully available.

I'm still not seeing anything for Canada. Has there been a list of games released for week 1 for Rogers SSP

I've searched the web for new information on the Pac 12 network being available in Canada but can't find anything. Does anyone have any update as we're only 10 weeks away from the football season from starting.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Generally, no US channels can be picked up by any BDU if it's not of the list of non-Canadian programming services authorized for distribution provided by CRTC. Some exception you might heard of (like KVOS) but it's normally being approved due to some historical reasons and it's restricted to be able to carry in selected area.

Since Pac-12 is not in the list. We will never seen Pac-12 on the cable listing unless a BDU ask CRTC to add it in the list.
