Does anyone know if any channel is carrying the qualifying session? TSN and TSN2 are busy with tennis.

NB Josh · 2009-08-20, 06:26 PM

Nope. TSN2 isn't busy with live tennis, so I'm not sure why they aren't. Speed will have a couple practice sessions though.

Law abiding Canadians are out of luck! ESPN only.

mmuker · 2009-08-20, 06:37 PM

Yeah, figured. Thanks for the confirmation.

You could drive for 13 hours from TO and watch it here live with me

slightly longer from NB

Besides no Cup Qualifying, the Nationwide race isn't on till 3:00 AM. Looks like football and other junk in the way.

That's what really hurts...

I could deal with the Nationwide race being delayed until Tennis is over at 9 CDT...but explain to me how it's more important for TSN2 to show replays of both football games shown tonight...instead of the NASCAR race...especially BRISTOL!!!

Is the Nationwide Race on ESPN...or the deuce?

Does anyone remember that TSN2 only is allowed a certain amount of programming different than TSN each year? Well we are now 51 weeks from when TSN2 launched last year. My guess is that TSN2 is running out of "live" hours. They have also pulled a live semi final at the ATP Cincinnati Masters off of their schedule tomorrow. So its not more important for TSN2 to show replays of those games, it just makes way more sense than wasting 3 hours of their live quota on another tape delayed event.
