Curling on TeeVee!!

A reminder that curling returns to Television tonite, (Sunday) at 8:00 PM EST on Sportsnet. The Randy Ferbey Briar winners play 3/4 of the Jennifer Jones Scott winners in what is known in Soccerland as a "Friendly". The Jones rink is joined by new Manitoba resident and team member Georgina Wheatcroft.

This is all part of some deal with a new entity called "CurlTV" who have as their VP one Dave Nedohin and partners such as Rogers sportnet, Asham and some other smart folks who know a good TV thingy when they see it. Check the link attached to this post. It looks like they started taking subscriptions today, (Oct.1) for $5.65 a month you can get your fill of curling events over your Interweb connection. There will also be a weekly show on Sportsnet all about the latest curling dish.

As I write this a preview of the service is being netcast with a junior battle of the sexes from Brandon. Worth a look.

It should be noted that no CCA, CBC or TSN officials were harmed or involved in the production of this blog entry or the effort to bring curling to the fans without all the BS. Now that's nice.
