TSN is being run by a bunch of idiots!!! - Page 2 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

TSN has cut off F1 qualifying, but they've usually moved the conclusion to TSN2. When have they cut off the end of an F1 race?

Plus they block SpeedTV's broadcast in Canada.

Pathetic.

They regularly cut off the post race interview.Surely they could cut a couple of minutes at the beginning of the Sportcentre re-broadcast.

While I agree there's no need to cut away from the post-race press conference just to show Sportscentre, the original issue here was cutting away (after the match was over, mind you) to show the start of a live event. And that is totally different. TSN would have been crucified if they'd stayed on to listen to Nadal et al drone on and the opening kick-off of the KC/SD game was returned for a touchdown.

Bottom line is you can't please everyone.

Cutting away from OT and cutting away from post-race coverage are not the same thing. TSN cuts away from hockey as soon as the game finishes to show highlights of the game you just watched too. If TSN cut away from the race during the final lap, then that would be the same thing as cutting away from OT of a hockey game.

I actually can't believe that people complain about TSN cutting of post-match/race interviews. Sure they are a nice feature, but an equal amount of people will complain that the interviews are pointless.

lol I doubt that very much, It was just the same as any other tennis ending, interview both players, present cheques/tropheys. Nothing great about that just typical protocol.

If this is a TSN complaint thread thread.. then

they moved Around the Horn to TSN2 and put OTR (god, how does that show stay on the air) in its spot and also moved SC to an hour show. (nice, more hockey...................................................... ........)

OTH, theyve added jimrome to TSN2.

Unfortunately, my 'dinner' eating tv is analog cable only, so no more ATH.
