I was given the wrong info.
 
It was TSN who would not allow the bars to pick up the feed.
 
Usually, I guess they can pay a small fee and get the feed
(I've watched TSN broadcasts before).
 
TSN, however, decided that, since NO ONE IN THE *ENTIRE*
WORLD payed what they demanded, no one anywhere would get
to see the World Junior Championships.  Not only did ESPN
laugh at what TSN wanted, but I am told the Swedish station
was outraged at TSN's exclusive rights which they would
rather get *no* revenue from outside of Canada than to sell
them at a reasonable rate.
 
No one in Europe or the US was able to watch it due to TSN.
 
 
Personally, I don't understand why they wouldn't lower
their asking price and get *SOMETHING* from *SOMEONE*!?!
 
I can't figure it.
 
 
Oh well,
 
Tony
