According to www.tvguide.ca it will be shown on CIII, channels 6 and 41.

Both: live at 1:30 on Sunday, and on tape at 12:05 am on Monday morning
(Sunday night).
It’ll be an interesting broadcast. It’s being done by global this year.
They tried to get Vic Rauter from TSN (and I think Rob Faulds from CTV)
but couldn’t, so instead they put together a new team: Chris McClure and
Tommy Kendall. McClure is interesting as TSN’s "MotorMouth", and Kendall
is an excellent commentator.

it’s on Global TV. Channel 3 on the tv (cable), or channel 22 (VHF) or 3 on
the air. Reminds me of a Peter Gabriel tune, "on the air". Global is
pretty there if you’re in Canada. Especially Ontario.

If they’re both successful in the "suicide" part, we all win.

You sure? I did check the tv guide website, and they say it’s on 6 and
41.

Thank god this plan didn’t work. Vic Rauter is truly horrible and Rob
Faulds isn’t far behind on the annoyance scale.

This is true. If it wasn’t for the normal level of commercials on Global
(ie. high) this would have been a great broadcast. Kendall is always
fun to listen to and McClure, although he often sounded like he was
doing a radio broadcast (too much obvious detail) did a good job.
Great pre-race show, extended post-race coverage. The one problem they
had was that the producer would go to sleep during commercial breaks,
which meant that the coverage on RDS (Quebec ESPN) had some odd moments
when their commercial breaks didn’t line up (cameras panning across
clouds, shots of the back of people’s heads).
