why is there no tv coverage of the men's world curling championship? Or is there ?

It's because the CBC has control of the rights in Canada and they just are good at messing things up.\n\nThey will be showing the semi finals and finals on the weekend I have read.

Try the Fox Club / Sportsbar in the Viaduct Harbour.\nThe had the whole World Champinship live, sometimes they put a requested channel from Sky on one of the TVs if you ask for it.\nCheers

Sorry man. NLL Championship game is only being broadcast on television, and on B2 Networks online which you have to subscribe to. Guess your outta luck.

Bowling isn't a common enough sport? Come on....pluh-eez. \n\nIf they have a category for curling for crying out loud, they should have a category for bowling. I've always thought that was ridiculous.

Curling is a very strategic sport. It's not like bowling where you can just wing the ball down and hope it hits something. If you throw it too hard it will go through and if you throw it too soft it will not make it. It's also a lot of work. It looks easy on TV, but sweeping a rock can make you very tired.

ESPN and ESPN2 will cover the world cup, with the US games being trasmited at ABC if I remember right.\nUnfortunately, I dont think anyone transmits middle east leagues at this time.

I've never heard of the River Oaks International. I heard Sampras would be joining the World Team Tennis league, which may be televised on the Tennis Channel (I dunno, cause I only get basic cable). Pretty much if you wanna watch anything besides a grand slam, then the Tennis Channel is the only channel that might cover it.

ECW is currently not showing in Canada. They're supposed to be working on it but no deal as of yet.

I'm sure the games will be televised somewhere, but MLB has not announced specific broadcast plans or announced a rights deal with any network. Part of the problem may be that the tournament runs at the same time as the NCAA basketball tournaments, pretty much locking up a lot of dates for both CBS and ESPN (which does early round men's games and the women's tournament pretty much throughtout). That would lead me to believe FOX is the most likely place for games to air, although they may only be interested in the end of the tournament, like the semifinals and championship instead of all the pool games. \n\nThe only information I have been able to find for certain is that subscribers to, MLB.com web broadcasts will be able to get games as part of their off-season package, which they are charging $9.95 for. MLB.com also has a complete tournament schedule, with game times, for the entire tournament.

Check out the US Curling Club map for venues.  \nSurprisingly, there is one in most major northern cities.\nhttp://www.kccurling.com/main/USClubs.asp

I completely agree with you (except it doesn't make me sick).  I don't know if anyone told them that they were on an "international" broadcast or what...  I would expect a bit of bias from them, but it seems like even the producers is biased towards the Oilers (stat overlays, crowd shots).  If it were a CBC broadcast or a Hockey Night game, then let them throw in a few "against" and "out" and "eh".  I've seen the bias since round 1, but all I can do is laugh.\n\nI don't think it's a Canada vs. US thing - half the players on the Ducks are Canadian.  Because Lord Stanley's Cup hasn't gone to a Canadian team in 13 years, they think this is THE year and they're going to pull for the team that's gonna make it happen for them.  I've gotta admit, though, the Oilers are looking good, eh?

I have been a fan of wrestling for over 30 years and the simple answer is that it is not televised.  I used to watch most of the independent promotions--ECW when it was on at 2 AM in New York and further back with the southern promotions on TBS in the afternoon.  If someone would put together an independent promotion program (there are enough sports channels out there--maybe Versus would be interested) I think you are right--there would be a lot more interest than there is now.  Unfortunately that would mean more exposure for the wrestlers and they would be signed away by McMahon or TNA.

thats probably true...even though i hate to say it...i get cable and the only NHL games i saw all season were the stanley cup finals...they dont even play any games on espn or anything but i always see softball...its really depressing because i love hockey
