Raw To Leave TSN?

According to reports, the scheduled WWE press conference on Wednesday in Toronto will more than likely announce that Monday Night RAW will be moving from TSN to The Score in Canada. It appears a decline in ratings for RAW combined with TSN acquiring the rights to Monday Night Football starting this September is the reason for the change. As of now, the final episode of RAW on TSN will take place on July 31. Based on what is known, TSN and WWE were unable to reach an agreement when it come to how RAW would be presented on the station when Monday Night Football was to start. So when it came a decision, TSN took Monday Night Football over WWE programming.

It might actually be going to The Score. They carry SmackDown already and the summary shows like Bottom Line. So most logical would be to go with them. Supposedly there is this "big announcement" here in Toronto on July 19th downtown that has Trish, Edge, Flair, and Torrie here. Maybe has to do with that or the fact that we're getting ECW, finally!!!!

Or maybe both!? I think I read on WWE.com that the press conferance will be live on the Score, so I would imagine that's gunna be the new home for Monday night Raw in Canada.

It's official:

The Score Television Network has solidified its reputation as "the home for the hardcore" now that it has added World Wrestling Entertainment's "Monday Night RAW" to its programming roster on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET starting August 7, 2006 (repeats at 12:30 a.m. ET - 9:30 p.m. PT).

The move of RAW to The Score Television Network is part of a multi-faceted agreement that also calls for The Score to introduce a new WWE program in Canada which will air prime-time Sundays evenings, and that moves WWE's popular SmackDown(R) program, currently the No. 1 program on The Score, from Thursdays to Friday nights at 8:00 p.m. ET (repeats at 12:00 a.m. ET - 9:00 p.m. PT), beginning August 11.

So basically Raw will air 1 hour later in Canada than it does in the US and UK, and SD will now air at the same time it does for us in the US.

Awesome. My tv is always on The Score, but every Monday night I'm forced to change it 8 channels down, now I don't have to change it at all!!

The Phantom · 07-20-2006, 07:16 AM

It sucks that the Canadians won't have Raw Live.

HellKat · 07-20-2006, 08:59 PM

I know, now I'm just gonna have to tape and watch the next day!! Aieee and we can't participate in the Live Threads!!!

Mr. Kennedy · 07-20-2006, 09:21 PM

What currently airs at 9PM on The Score? I would imagine that it would be better for everyone if Raw aired live up there.

The Phantom · 07-21-2006, 06:11 AM

They at least should have RAWs which are in Canada live.

Horse racing... the reason for the 10PM is b/c the certain required amount of Canadian Content required on the network and apparently short munchkins riding horses qualifies as that... also the other argument given was that would be a non-preemptive slot... who the f*** cares!! I like my RAW live dammit!!
