    <font size="2"><font face="trebuchet ms,geneva">There was a time, long ago, when I used to be able to catch some CFL games. I think it was on ESPN. I used to enjoy watching the CFL and wouldn't mind catching a game from time to time. Does anyone in the U.S. show CFL games anymore? </font></font>

    There's more cfl football shown now in the states then ever before.</p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span class="main"><span class="spacing">
    The Canadian Football League (CFL) announced today that its 2007 season games will be available across the United States in both high-definition and standard-definition broadcasts, kicking off with the season opener on June 28 and continuing through to the 95th Grey Cup championship in Toronto, Ontario on November 25.

    CFL coverage is offered this year in nine of the top 12 U.S. television markets via eight Comcast regional sports networks, plus New England Sports Network (NESN). In addition, national coverage will be available via Altitude Sports and Entertainment, plus other regional sports networks carried on DirectTV and DISH Network. High-definition broadcasts will be offered on Echostar&rsquo;s DISH Network via VOOM HD Networks&rsquo; WORLDSPORT HD.

    Overall, more than 70 million U.S. homes will have access to CFL Football each week of the 2007 season.

    Comcast RSNs and systems, plus NESN in Boston, Altitude Sports & Entertainment in Denver, Cox Sport Television Louisiana, Bright House Networks Catch 47 Tampa Bay Sports Television, and other regional sports networks will carry games in standard definition. These games will also be carried live on America One Television, which serves standard broadcast stations coast-to-coast.

    Every Friday night, a CFL match-up will be televised exclusively in high-definition on VOOM HD Networks&rsquo; WORLDSPORT HD. The League&rsquo;s East and West Semi-Finals, its East and West Championships, and the 95th Grey Cup will be available in both formats.

    "Increasing exposure to our brand of football in the U.S.and internationally is an important initiative to further develop our League,&rdquo; said Mark Cohon, CFL Commissioner. &ldquo;Our game offers sports fans across the world a quick-paced, exciting brand of football that is enjoyed by all age groups and naturally connects with younger fans.&rdquo;</span></span></div> </p>

    Comcast here in the SL Valley has the Altitude network based out of Denver. I enjoy watching the CFL if I'm @ home on Fri or Sat night this time of year. </p>

    My source of irritation is they show Hamilton far too often and they arelousy.</p>
