Too many penalties which is concerning but Trevor Harris had a great debut and looks like they’re gonna compete each week. However. Montreal still had a chance to win and they’re going to be awful. Expand Tommy Sweeney will be playing for them soon
vorpma Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Back in 1960's Buffalo, long before cable you received three channels from Canada: 6, 9, and 11 and getting Montreal Expos Baseball and the CFL was a big deal!!! CFL just prepped you for the opening of training camp coming in late July at Blasdell or Niagara University! 1

This from Wikipedia, the reason for the shift I did not notice. I vaguely recall something about channel interference, perhaps with the fledgling Global network, which did broadcast on channel 6 in some parts of Ontario. 1

RevWarRifleman Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I grew up in Niagara cnty. We could pick up channels 6, 9, & 11. One of those was out of Hamilton I remember. So between picking up the 3 main networks in Buffalo, a couple out of Toronto plus one in Hamilton, it was like having cable tv, 1960's style.

Going on through to February is too long. Finish right after the New Year.
