Women's world cup and the NBA finals have priority that is why not all preseason games are not televised.

TSN has, what, 5 channels now? They were showing basketball, which almost no one gives a flying doughnut about, on about 4 of them. Is that really necessary?

I love basketball but I'm always baffled when TSN shows the same event on three or four channels.

I think most of TSN's manpower and TV trucks are tied up with Women's World Cup obligations

Even exhibition games would draw double what the NBA finals would draw ratings wise.

I thought for a first time effort, the "Ti-Cats TV" stream of their game with Ottawa was excellent. Mia Gordon did a very good job hosting.

What I've come to learn is that TSN1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are mostly regional stations aka their version of SNP, SNW, SNO, SNE & SN1.
