    here's the broadcast schedule: http://www.nba.com/raptors/photos/2009-10_Broadcast_Schedule.pdf


    -the first two games of the season are on TSN2 which means most ppl wont even have the chance to watch the games if they dont have the Rogers VIP package or Bell
    -i fortunately do have the VIP package but i think he undercuts interest in the raptors and that can be fatal for a sport thats still in it's infancy

    Why am I paying extra for Raptors NBATV when they are showing a grand total of two Raptors games this season?

    raptors tv seemed like it was going to be good in the early days when they were determined to put forth an effort
    they had summer league games, rucker park games, college games, they even had a live lebrun james high school game

    I dont have raps tv anymore but when i go to my parents(cause they have it only cause they dont keep track of what channels they pay for and what channels they actually watch) I check it out and there always all these "Classic" games on even in the middle of the nba season when it show be live games

    but tsn2 is cool, and they show WEC events and shows, probably not for much longer but......

    What sucks is that I hate when they have games on tsn in general, I fucking hate the "analyst" they have before games and the half time show, they all just suck! I dispise Leo with his stupid voice and his stupid comments! The score has neither of those which makes it so much better!

    I just called Rogers and inquired about adding TSN2...obviously you can't buy the single channel and have to get a package. The package is $67 on top of your basic cable...WTF!?!?!

    I fucken hate Rogers..

    $67 per year?

    I think I pay $2.75/month or something for it individually through Cogeco.

    How I miss cogeco so badly, I moved to a recently built area so I cant even get ball :(, Rogers has this area in a monopoly form!!!!
    whatever you do, DO NOT EVER SWITCH TO ROGERS, cogeco's internet was faster, better and the costumer service was even more helpful!!!

    Is TSN one of the only channels that makes you pay extra for their HD channels? That's always bugged me.

    the best part of this thread is that americans have no fucking clue what we're talking about. they think rogers is the guy with the neighbourhood.

    If the raps wanted to make more money I'd rather them do what the canucks do and just make like 10 games a year on PPV. I'd rather order that set than to have to subscribe to a bunch of different channels just to watch a basketball game.

    I think that's what's bugged me the most of all this. I get that MLSE wants to drain some more money from their fanbase (even though I hate it, I resigned to its inevitability). Why do they have to make it so damn inconvenient though?

    Yea, I hate how there's so many channels. I remember one time I missed a whole game because I thought it was on TheScore but it was actually on TSN. wtfff
