One of the perks of watching the #BlueJays over-the-air via 29.1 WUTV Fox Buffalo is it is 720p which is actually better for sports than the 1080i broadcast by Citytv 57.1 Toronto. #CRTC #WorldSeries #DTV2011

Good thing you got your glasses to see that tiny TV.

Fox also doesn't air the first pitch so I missed Cito and Joe. #BlueJays #WorldSeries

Citytv (Rogers) and Fox are airing Game 2 of the #WorldSeries over-the-air tonight. If you need 'rabbit ears' to watch the game on your TV in HD for no fee, this one for around $20 CDN works well enough in Toronto. www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/produc... #CRTC #BlueJays #C11 #DTV2011

From jokes about Kirk's build to an underwhelmed response to Barger's grandslam, it is clear watching Fox's feed of the #WorldSeries OTA via Citytv that they want the Dodgers to win. Sweet to savour their stunned silence. #BlueJays #CRTC

SimSub.

TV listing now showing Rogers' Citytv will air Game 1 of the #WorldSeries tonight, though you wouldn't know it from their social media. It's almost like Rogers waited to see if Fox would broadcast it over-the-air (as Fox did for Games 1,2 & 7 of ALCS)! #CRTC #DTV2011 #BlueJays

Looks like Fox will be broadcasting the entire
#WorldSeries. No sign yet if Rogers will broadcast the #BlueJays over-the-air for Canadian antenna viewers via their Citytv/OMNI stations. If you're near the U.S. border, you might want to seek out Fox signals. #CRTC Cc @shawnmicallef.bsky.social

Rogers likely waited to see if Fox would air it. That way, Rogers can 'SimSub' Canadian ads over Fox's U.S. ads for cable and satellite subscribers in Canada. Messed up system.

Citytv says it is showing Hudson & Rex but the #BlueJays are airing. Smart move, Rogers. Thanks to @johnbowman.bsky.social for the tip. #CRTC #DTV2011 #C11

Historically, both Bell and Rogers have broadcast live sports (if they own the rights) via their over-the-air TV stations when it suits them.

People in Toronto can still point their TV antenna at Lake Ontario and perhaps receive the Jays via 29.1 Fox Buffalo!

Yes, the first two games of the ALCS were on Citytv.

My mom txted this morning she'll be watching in Windsor via Detroit FOX. It's incredible people in Toronto can't point an antenna at the CN Tower and watched like old days. Public paid $500 billion for SkySome in 89!

Corporate giveaways, taxpayer re-billing.

WUTV 29.1 Fox Buffalo is broadcasting tonight's Game 7 of the #BlueJays' ALCS but no dice for CANADIANS watching over-the-air via Rogers' TORONTO Citytv and OMNI stations. Brutal. Time for anti-siphoning legislation? #CRTC #DTV2011 #C11 Cc @shawnmicallef.bsky.social
