Caught this news on the blogs. Very nice, especially considering it normally might cost us a lot of money.

Not seeing it in the guide. Refreshed it all a couple times now too.

I'm happy to say I helped get this on the air by getting a bunch of people to email TSN asking for it. Glad they came though.

For anyone wondering, Adrian Healey and Robbie Mustoe will call the match. I presume they will call it off monitor from Bristol.

Josh, I noticed Canadian Sports Media Blog had a bit of a shout about it too.

Great blog, are you involved with them?

 

[NB Josh]

Yes, I am the author/editor/everything else. I got fans to email TSN through there and Twitter and apparently it worked. Or it was just a strange coincidence they added it the day after a bunch of people emailed them.

Either way, I'm glad its on.

Great Job... Should be a great match and I hope TSN carries many more.

This game is on TSN2 because ESPN2 is carrying the game in the USA. This is the same set-up for Saturday Premiership games thats the only reason its on here in Canada.

 

[NB Josh]

You sure? It wasn't added until Wednesday. Hadn't been scheduled before then.

The game is airing on TSN2 because England get amazing ratings and ESPN has North American rights to all EURO qualifying games except England home games. The fact that it is on ESPN2 is a factor, but I wouldn't call it the reason.

Great blog man. Thanks for doing it. Only discovered it the other day, so annoyed that I'd not found it earlier.
