BasX Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Rogers Sportsnet, which got out of the basketball business three years ago, is getting back in. Sources say the channel is about to finalize a three-year deal that will give it 35 Toronto Raptors games per season, as well as other National Basketball Association games. The 35 games will come at the expense of the CBC and The Score, neither of which will carry the Raptors next year. TSN and TSN2 will share the remaining 47 Raptors games. All games will be carried nationally, which may mean some of the games will be aired on a yet unlaunched Sportsnet channel. http://thestar.blogs.com/sportsmedia/2010/06/sportsnet-back-in-the-game-with-raptors.html This means little to anyone who is not a Raptor fan but means alot, somewhat, to Raptor fans. Thoughts? Edited June 16, 2010 by BasX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my Stats Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Wow, I am really surprised The Score would give these games up (assuming they gave them up), they were the best channel going during the basketball season, at least now there is a reason for me to tune into Sportsnet now. Doesn't really matter to me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 No matter what network their on, they still are the most boring games in the world to watch until its the final 3 minutes of a close game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
