Thanks Skatefiguring

Does this mean we will have a double transmission going on for some events, both on CBC and TSN??

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's only going to be Skate Canada and Canadian Nats on TSN/CTV.

Blue, you are correct. It will be interesting to have events from two different broadcasters. I am glad CBC kept most coverage, since they do wonderful extensive coverage of all of their events online and on Bold.
