Under the new agreement, TSN will broadcast 60 regular-season games (three per week), six playoff games, and the Grey Cup. The network will remain the sole home of Thursday Night Football and Friday Night Football — products that were created by the CFL on TSN in 2015 and 1997, respectively. The Grey Cup will also be simulcast on CTV and Crave, bringing it to terrestrial television and streaming.

RDS, also a Bell affiliate, will remain the exclusive French-language broadcaster of the CFL, airing all Montreal Alouettes games, 25 marquee matchups throughout the regular season, all playoff games, and the Grey Cup.

...

In Canada, DAZN will become the home of Saturday Night Football, as well as the Saturday night playoff game in each of the first two rounds of the league’s new playoff format. The streaming service will also be the league’s new global broadcaster, exclusively carrying games outside Canada and the United States — including the full regular-season, playoffs, and Grey Cup.

Splitting the domestic games across platforms is just plain annoying.

Well it is just to keep you subscribed to more things. You will not be able to get just TSN next year you will also have to get crave. They want to nickel and dime us out of every cent they can.

Yet somehow RDS gets out of this unscathed and retains all broadcasting rights?
