CBC TV Coverage of Whistler Races
Thu, Jan 15, 2009 - By Mike Balduf
According to Cross Country Canada, CBC Television will broadcast this weekend's Whistler BC World Cup races. The main broadcast channel will carry the individual sprint finals at 12 noon on Saturday, Jan. 17, and team sprint finals at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31. Bold is a CBC cable channel formerly called Country Canada. Apparently CBC offers a streaming online telecast on cbcsports.ca, though I've never viewed it. Universal Sports hasn't yet announced any coverage, but often they do so at the last minute... Mike
