TSN 2

Does anyone know if Mountaincable has any plans to pick up TSN 2? I heard something about Rogers wouldn't get it because its one of their competitor companies. Do anyone know anything else? You call Mountaincable and they will not come out and say yes or no.

Its a weird issue to me.. Mountain was one of the few providers that carried tsn's alternate feed which was barely used. Now that tsn has a 2nd channel that has some original content they dont have it. Apparently TSN is asking too much according to Rogers, but who really knows..

But on the other hand, looking at some of the schedules its basically a time shifted TSN. It would be nice to have, but not necessary imo, for my needs anyway, i dont watch a lot of basketball.

I agree that if they are asking too much for it and the programming is more or less timeshifting no provider will jump for it now but if they start to show more sports on a regular bases I guess it will be added then.

It looks like Rogers is close to announcing a deal for TSN2... does this have any affect on Mountain getting the channel?

Not Really, Cogeco has been carrying it since it launched, and they are more associated with mountain than rogers. I cannot see this being a technical problem, just a cost/benefit problem. If there is not enough demand, why pay for it?

I wrote an email to Mountain and they said they are still negotiating... wonder what that means.

Looks like we've got TSN2 finally.
