Hockey Morning in Canada ?!?:

I feel sorry for the players who are playing a game starting at 11 AM local time:

Toronto at Abbotsford (Jan. 16, 2011, 2 p.m. ET).

Many AHL teams play "school day" games during the season, starting around 10:30-11:00 AM.

Surprise, surprise. 7 of 10 games feature Toronto.

Well thats kinda cool but I likely won't watch any of them seeing as the first 6 go head-to-head with the NFL and the last 4 likely will go head-to-head with the Sunday NBC/TSN NHL games. Hopefully they do find enough an audience to keep it going in the future though.

Why is the rest of Canada paying for the CBC if they're just going to pander to Toronto?

And that attitude is why nothing is ever going to change. The CBC has no interest in meeting its deadline for DTV, so long as Toronto is covered already.

So why should the rest of Canada pay for what is clearly a Toronto regional channel?
