Some relevant news clippings,,

 

 

January 11-22, 2023 - CBC doesn't appear to support the AHL, ECHL, or Canadian University Men's Hockey in its broadcast scheduling ? Canada has recently won both events at the University Hockey FISU tournament but the Gold medal final games, in fact the whole tournament sparked by victories by both the male and female Canadian University athletes were not shown on CBC ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52640201721/in/datepos...

 

Halifax, Canada Jan 2023 - This time around the IIHF Men's World Juniors hockey tournament is being held in Canada. No games were shown by the CBC, and many Canadians weren't able to watch their finest male Junior hockey players incl Connor Badard play in their home Country and win the Gold for Canada ?

However, even though CBC did black out all of the IIHF Men's junior hockey games played, they did make daily news reports that focused on an alleged past scandal involving a previous IIHF Men's Junior hockey team ? cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/official-broadcaster-...

 

 

The new Pro Hockey League PWHL - Is there gender discrimination shown in CBC's sports programming decisions ? CBC seems reluctant to support or televise important sporting events with a large fan base that are played by male athletes such as the Grey Cup, the Copa America international Men's soccer football and the Men's World Juniors hockey tournament, and so the fans weren't able to see Canadian male star pro athletes like Acadia Axemen footballer Bailey Feltmate in the Grey Cup, or Nova Scotia's Jacob Shaffelburg in the Copa international Men's soccer tournament or Connor Badard in the IIHF World Men's Juniors hockey tournament ?

However, CBC has shown a completely different attitude when it comes to female athletes and the brand new start up Women's Pro Hockey League PWHL, backing the girls with full promotion that includes massive air time, TV ads, coast to coast live broadcasts, player bios and games each week with hosting and game analysis,, "CBC/Radio-Canada is the official broadcaster of the Professional Women's Hockey League" cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/official-broadcaster-... cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/official-broadcaster-...

A proud Canadian Company ? Super Bowl LVIII, Las Vegas USA . Bell media CTV network floods the North American airways with numerous ads promoting their CTV coverage of the upcoming 2024 American Superbowl and then they broadcast 10 straight hours of uninterrupted prime time live T.V. coverage of a major American sporting event being held on Superbowl Sunday in Las Vegas Nevada ? However, on the other hand, back home in their home country of Canada, they don't broadcast anything at all, nothing (zero) blanco, zilch, silencio, not even 1 minute of CTV coverage on their own Canadian Grey Cup game for their fellow Canadians to enjoy ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/53523500175/in/datepos...

 

Feb 2024 - Halifax Nova Scotia,

Bell media and CTV have deafened and blindfolded many East Coast residents after eliminating critical hours of local and community news programming in the Atlantic region ?

Recent Bell Canada Corporate decisions have now left many Maritimers in a vulnerable position ? East Coast Provinces appear to be the target of severe local live Newstime cancellations and these cut-backs have left many Maritimers without their daily Noon news hour updates that are broadcast everyday all week long ? ATV viewers will now be forced to tune into the other station (CBC) where CBC tends to run mostly world international news along with their select choice of the National News, along with lengthy live news conferences that are put on by the PM and other liberal party members ?

Aside from terminating the popular weekday ATV Noon hour news show, CTV has also downsized in half the very popular and iconic , 'ATV live at five' 5 P.M. local community news program, (prompting long time popular host Jason Baxter to seek early retirement) ? Adding to the devistating loss of this much needed news reporting that is traditionally broadcast every week, Bell will also now terminate all weekend Saturday and Sunday local news reporting currently running on ATV ? The cancellation and elimination of so much allotted local news airtime that is normally given to Atlantic Canadians surely threatens the safety and security of residents especially now that there will be a 24 hour local news blackout for 2 full days each and every weekend and even for as much as 3 consecutive days every holiday long weekend ? And so it seems that arch rival CBC has taken over prime time live local news reporting in the Maritimes and Bell Canada is blaming the Liberal Government's new Bill C-18 for them having to slash so many prime time hours of local and Provincial news coverage in the Maritimes ?

Is this a CBC Stanley Cup cruel joke ? June 2nd, 2024 Edmonton ? Fans are upset after CBC had broadcast the first 5 games of the Men's NHL Dallas vs Oilers series, and then, without warning and for no logical reason, CBC blacked out the critical and most important climactic final game that saw Edmonton win and gain entry into the Stanley Cup finals ? It remains unclear why CBC would do this ? Was it arrogance, or was it to be mean spirited, or was it a gender bias issue due to this being Men's pro hockey, or was it maybe a lesson given out to remind Canadians just who is running this Countries main media and who controls the programming ? v=iW0yzPhwC4s" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW0yzPhwC4s

In a groundbreaking move, and for the first time ever, CBC has introduced and is now including gambling in its coverage of the Olympic games ?

the fans are confused ? After Connor McDavid and other NHL Superstar heroes played starring roles in glamorous new betMGM ads to promote gambling on their websites, numerous complaints were filed. And so they eased up on the image of a Sports hero who encourages and participates in gambling although the McDavid image itself was not to be disconnected from the gambling vice or from the lucrative gambling industry ? A new corrected version will now show Connor as an ambassador for safe and responsible gambling whenever you gamble ? But isn't it still gambling ? see news article, "Connor McDavid's latest gambling ad with Bet MGM sparks outrage among his fans,"
