Comments on: CBC cuts CONCACAF Champions League http://footiefool.com/2009/03/26/cbc-cuts-concacaf-champions-league/ Yet another football/soccer blog by yet another uninformed source Sun, 07 Nov 2010 21:20:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lord Bob http://footiefool.com/2009/03/26/cbc-cuts-concacaf-champions-league/comment-page-1/#comment-40903 Lord Bob Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:53:30 +0000 http://footiefool.com/?p=639#comment-40903 The CBC dropping the CCL is news, but what's hidden in there is the news that the CCL lost money for the CBC. They were basically piggybacking off other broadcasters when possible with the broadcast crew watching from Toronto, managed to put out a solid if under-financed product in the inaugural Canadian season where Montreal went on a cinderella run, and lost money. That's more worrying than just having coverage slashed. The CBC dropping the CCL is news, but what's hidden in there is the news that the CCL lost money for the CBC.
