can someone post a schedule of when its going to be on for Toronto? preferably CNBC as I cant get CBC with Rogers Cable.... just CNBC and Bravo.
Good work Cooler. I wish I had received the same kind of response (or at least a response) from CBC when I last emailed them. I've emailed them twice regarding badminton on CBC and both times have received no response! But I guess it's understandable as they prolly receive so many emails every day. But yes, besides badminton, CBC should definitely show some table tennis and I don't recall them ever showing that sport since I started watching from Atlanta '96. To add to that, Canadian table tennis is at a much higher level relatively compared to badminton on the international stage. I'm hoping for our sole MS and MD reps to advance through a couple rounds.
well, i sent my comment to olympics@cbc.ca, they solicited comments/feedback. I don't know about men's table tennis but the ladies are doing quite well so far. Table Tennis Petra CADA (CAN) in Women Singles (going round 2) CADA/ROUSSY (CAN) in Women Doubles (going to round 3)
Don't know if it would help, being Canadian and forced to watch American channels as they offer more variety of sports in Olympics.
Waste of Money What a waste of money getting cable TV. I want to watch badminton! Out of the hunderds of channels that I have, around 15 of them show exactly the same coverage of the Olympics. Why the hell can't they have some badminton on one of them, and show other sports as well so that they are not showing the same thing.
From the Athens 2004 Canadian Viewers Guide I got in the mail, Badminton does air once during the entire Olympics in Canada (according to the guide anyways) August 19, 2004 7:00am-12:00pm CBC Channel 3 LINK to SCAN: CLICK HERE
canadian badminton coverage abysmal Just wanted to say i am truly disappointed at the coverage, or lack thereof rather of badminton in the olympics by canadian t.v. I've been searching through our multitude of channels and day after day see nothing about badminton. Tis sad indeed considering we have close to 100 channels. I was wondering if anyone here would be recording it and making it available to the deprived ones here in N.America, specifically canada? thx in advance!
many felt the same http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=170713#post170713 let your feeling known to CBC. We have 2 XD, 2 WD, and WS teams participating, and no coverage at all.
hi, you know what, i did see like 5 minutes of badminton on TV on Sat afternoon arount 6 pm Eastern time, i think it was Canadian MX pair who lost their game. if you can read chinese, go to www.sohu.com or www.sina.com, at least there are many pictures of the game you can see, btw, i found a short video clip of how lin dan lost too, posted this morning.
For the Thursday viewing, we don't know when it is between 7am and 12 pm? It's a bit of a stretch ... and I'm assuming it's eastern time. If it is, at least I can wake up. lol. Western time it'd be horrible.
Hello everyone, I was just looking at the SRC website and it seems to mention badminton broadcasts in the next few days .

just saw highlight (just the final winning rally) of MS and WD finals on the french CBC. (give up on english language CBC) TH definitely played very patiently for this emotional charge guy.
