Anyone know if they will have the cable cam for the WDF?
It looked awesome at the BC Place opener on Sept 30. I hope they have it on Sunday! I assume it is TSN's decision, right?

Unless they have two of these units — one for each DF — I'd guess the answer is no. It would come off awkward (and even biased) to have it for one game and not the other.

It would make sense to install it before the West Final and use it for both that game and the Grey Cup though.

That makes sense, so you know it isn't going to happen.

But isn't it already awkward and biased for TSN to have Rod Black at one game and Cuthbert / Suitor at the other.

I doubt they will have it for the final but definitely for the Grey Cup

After the Opener, Farhan Lalji tweeted it was going to be back for the playoffs, so we'll see.

It sure adds quite a perspective. I haven't watched a CFL game on TV via the cable cam but it sure offered a lot on the instadium replay screen....

The infrastructure for the cable cam is already set up at BC Place so it would be a disservice by TSN not to use it.
I would be surprised if they used such gear for the EDF in Winnipeg seeing as how there would be a lot more time and expense in setting it up.

Jamie Dykstra @CFL_PR, just tweeted that the cable cam has been installed for WF, Vanier Cup and Grey Cup.

The official answer is "yes." To remain in place for the Vanier Cup and of course, the Grey Cup.
