Grey Cup Vanishes on Free TV for 'Wave of the Future'
Some football fans will watch Sunday's Grey Cup alone, focusing intently on the game, while others gather with family and friends, perhaps have a party.
But for some Canadians, the tradition may be lost this year because they can't watch the Montreal Alouettes take on the Calgary Stampeders at all. No Signal!
After more than 50 seasons on conventional television, the Grey Cup will be shown on TSN, an all-sports channel available only on cable or satellite.
This has sparked the ire of Grey Cup fans like Mike Donaldson.
"There's something wrong with that," says Donaldson.
"Every other year I could watch the Grey Cup at home with my family. I'm sitting here with a 50-inch TV and I can't watch the Grey Cup!"
