Tonight on Sportsline:
Canada returns home from the Olympics with 18 medals, should we be satisfied? While Rory roared at the PGA Championship, was Tiger humbled on the weekend? What the real reason behind the Argonauts move to release running back Cory Boyd and is Rajai Davis part of the Blue Jays future?
This plus the Hebsy’s with Mark & Bubbs, tonight at 7 on CHCH.
Bob really loves talking about how much better Canadian Olympic coverage is compared to the US. It seems to be one of the few things he gets passionate about these days. But I think tonight with Fred Gaudelli he suggested – maybe I misunderstood as I tuned in mid-conversation – that Americans only got NBC’s OTA channel whereas Canada had a whole six channels covering the events. But wasn’t CNBC, MSNBC, the old Versus and a few other NBC cable channels that are widely available providing live coverage? I don’t know why he is so obsessed with OTA channels in this day and age.
Just another example of Bob’s way of thinking. Notice how he backed off quite a bit when speaking with Gaudeli? I just don’t understand the constant bashing on his part. They streamed EVERYTHING live online as well as carried 90% of the events live on one station or another, just not on NBC.
Do most people in the 18-34 demo even know what Over the Air TV is thesedays? DO they see the difference between “network” and “cable” channels?
And by the next Olympics, any many mpeople will be getting the internet on their TVs. I’d guess most people don’t know how to use the HDMI port on their computers to export video to their TVs.
