    I wondered why the coverage was so poor. No I know. Thanks Brad!

    Shameful... but lesson learned. There's NO question that organizers are embarrassed and if not, they should be replaced.

    LOL @ curling being "more about community than the sport itself"... it's great that the Indian team is enjoying itself, and I hope they have a wonderful time in Canada! But Canadian curlers take the sport much more seriously than that when it comes to international competition (especially Gushue).

    I am confused on two points. Brad said TSN dropped the coverage, yet I have been watching the Pan Continental from Kelowna all week on TSN. And also confused about Team India as they are not competing in this event. I think the cheaper facilities are due to the fact that there are really only 4 decent teams playing so they knew that attendance would not be like the Brier or the World's. And only 8 teams overall. I did subscribe to TSN just for this month for this event and the CFL playoffs and Grey Cup.

    Then how did I watch the entire event till the end on TSN? I will correct that India was there, but in the B division which was not televised.@@lukelukawesky135

    Terrible really. Showing us happy curlers from a poverty stricken nation doesn’t make it look any better.

    How much money is in curling for the organizer? Like does it even make a profit?? I think it just barely breaks even. I don't know about you be I always switch channel when I land on curling.. and I don't know anybody in my life that "religiously" watch curling, kinda of a "meh" sport, i dont know anything about WHO won what and WHO is important in curling. Nobody really cares about it, so my question is how much profit is there in a event for the organizer?!

    Curling is a big sport for Seniors. Cutting it off television and telling the viewers to watch it on an app was not the thing to do. Most people in rural areas of Canada don't have fast enough internet to stream. Too many wrongs in this situation.
