Off topic -Canadian coverage of Louis Vuitton & Americas

Post by Hiljoball » 31 May 2007, 22:45

For Canadians who want coverage of the Louis Vuitton Cup and Americas Cup, here is part of the reply I received from TSN, who has the Canadian rights. Unfortunately, they have chosen not to broadcast it over the TV network, but are making it available through the Internet, for those of you who have broadband connections.

TSN Broadband will provide live coverage of each race from the Louis Vuitton
Cup Final, which begins on June 1, followed by the America's Cup Match,
beginning June 23. All races begin at 8:30 a.m. ET (see broadcast schedule
below). In addition to the live coverage, each race will also be available
on-demand at www.TSN.ca on a special customized TSN Broadband player.

TSN Broadband's live schedule for the 32nd America's Cup is as follows
(note: all races will be available on-demand upon their completion):
