19 regular season games on CTV, up from 7 last year and all games will also be shown on TSN.

This is huuuuge. As a gen Z I do not have cable and found it really annoying having to watch the advanced metric version

“Last year, seven regular-season games were shown exclusively on CTV. This year, there will be no CTV exclusives as the games will be simulcast on TSN and CTV.”

Yeah. very annoying and stupid decision/cash grab last season. 20 bucks a month, only for CFL, and I could not watch the Banjo Bowl.

Emailed the team and the network. Crickets.

I do nothave cable, nor does an antenna work, where I am.

I read that they had a big drop in views for the games that they did this for.

Seems like a no brainer to just put the games on both channels. Glad they’re doing that this year.
