Canada broadcast didn't show post game show SB Presentation

Once the game ended here in Canada they switched to some cooking program. Unbelievable.
Had to go flipping around elsewhere to finally find it. What a joke.

I have had some great food up there. Canada rocks

my wife told me this....

apparently she heard it on the radio...

that said, i live up high in YYZ and was able to use my trusty OTA antenna and pick up the fox HD feed OTA.

she did not have to put up with the poor canadian broadcast. my dad hated them for not just showing the US feed.

i did see that they cut to a commercial when the presented the trophy to Paul Allen. total bush league. it is not as if they ran over time...that game was fast. 4Q and i think manning wanted to go home.

Yes they did. It was on TSN2. I know because I watched it all there.

TSN2 is part of an extra package on most cable networks here though.

Thought it was really lame personally, did switch over the channel but I know I had some friends who didn't get to see any of it. It's not like there was anything important for CTV to put on.

It was the way they do it that ticked me off. FYI for any Americans still reading this thread, if we put our TVs on Fox for example for the game, big brother up here overrides that signal with the local CTV one. That means we get their lame commercials vs the ones you guys see. I had my TV on Fox on the faint hope that it would not get overriden but no luck. But when CTV switched over to whatever they were showing, they didn't take the override off. So even though I was on Fox, I got screwed for about 5 minutes.

I have TSN2 but didn't see the note that the post game show was over there.

Is that an over the air signal that you are talking about? I could see them putting out a stronger signal which would override the weak signal and then imprint what commercialism they want to into the programming. I am just curious.

Go Hawks.

Canadian TV stations pay for the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl in Canada. In order to finance that expense, those stations need to sell advertising space during the game. As a result, viewers of the Super Bowl in Canada will see content from Canadian advertisers, instead of the ones that the US viewers see.

This will also apply to when you are watching a US TV station, as broadcasters will employ a process called signal substitution to ensure that proper broadcast is being received.

Most Canadians have the US Networks on their Cable Packages so if they changed the channel from CTV to their local FOX affiliate channel the signal substitution stopped after the game and the postgame show was shown.

it is getting the signal. it would be fox 29.1 over the air and CTV would have its own Canadian OTA signal.

now CTV or the canadian network does something called sim substitution. they take all the fox feed but then overlay their own commercials etc.

this is what they broadcast OTA but if you can get the fox signal, you get fox.

here in Toronto we are close enough to the larger broadcast towers that feed buffalo to get many of the main stations over the air (OTA). i recall that the signals are not as strong out of Bellingham or other areas closer to the border for people to get feed from the US in Vancouver. I could be TOTALLY wrong on this so do not quote me.

for me, i am 16 floors up and get all majors over the air from grand island in buffalo.

i paid 30 bucks for an OTA antenna and honestly, for the last 4 years i have not had to deal with the crappy, i mean crappy crappy CTV broadcast. i feel for those stuck with it, i really do.
