commercials vent
So why is it that I can only get Canadian broadcasting for the Superbowl (when I wish I got the US ones for the commercials) but most of the channels I get broadcasting the Olympics, which are being held IN Canada, are American?? I'm kinda getting tired about them going on and on and on about their own athletes but hearing very little about Canadians.

??
Lots of Canadian stations are broadcasting the Olympics
It's not that I don't get any, but just that most. I found CTV but it seems like I have tons of versions of NBC, all playing different events (some live, some not live) so lots of choices, but only 2 versions of CTV and they are always playing the same event, so it's like I only have one version of CTV and a variety of the American ones. Guess my TV package just sucks (we're with Bell, I think on the minimum package)
During Superbowl time, we couldn't get a US version anywhere.
I'm sure tuscanabride can explain this better and with proper terminology but that's law in Canada. If there is a Canadian station and an American station broadcasting the same programming, the Canadian station takes over the US one. I believe it's part of the CanCon program and geared towards keeping Canadian television and stations alive by helping to secure advertising revenues.
It does suck for things like the superbowl. I wonder if they could ever make the argument that the US commercials are actually a part of the entertainment programming, not just ad space. But then again, who's gonna fight that battle?
