RDS
RIS

Sports d’intérêt général de Rogers

That's a lot of channels for such a market as Quebec.

[Whitesnake]

If there are more channels to show us darts or lumberjack events, I'm out.

But I would gladly welcome a channel who will show us AHL hockey, Junior hockey and NCAA hockey. Add the full season of the Impact in the MLS next year and give me that channel, or if it means 2 or 3 channels with that result, I'm buying.

Yet, I have no idea how RIS and RDS can't do a better job with this already.

We can eliminate RIS. RIS does do their own broadcastings sometimes.. but most of the time it's just 24/7 SPORTS CENTER.

I don't mind as long as they play other stuff besides hockey.. that's what Rogers Sportsnet does anyway.. really.. make it that the focus isn't 100% Canadiens hockey.

This is the only way I apply to get this channel. The interest of Quebec, as a province, is hockey. You want to give Quebec something they'd pay for, show the future of the NHL. I'm with you on this one.

Plus sportsnet and TSN/TSN2 available in Quebec. The return of the Expos and a NFL franchise aren't far away.

That's a 8M market for:

RDS
RDS2
RIS
TVA Sports
Sports d’intérêt général de Rogers
TSN
TSN2
Sportsnet

Radio-Canada is broadcasting Tennis and some other sports also, it means they will be biding for the Broadcasting contracts also.

Right, because there are no Francophones outside of Quebec. Get your head out of your...

[Maverik]

Radiodiffusion means on the radio, not tv...
