Who wants to watch curling all day? (*yawn*)

Am I the only one who thinks that the Canadian Olympic Committee's plan for a channel dedicated 24/7 to Canada "amateur" sports is a really bad idea? Note that they intend to fund this network by mandating that those subscribing to any digital TV be required to pay a few for this service.

The CTV's coverage notes that the network is intended to support amateur sports. It doesn't note, however, that the contribution would be less than 1/5th of the network's expected revenue from mandatory subscription fees (as may be found in Digital Home's coverage.

Ah well, at least it might be slightly more interesting than CPAC. (I've never quite figured out why Americans actually seem to watch C-SPAN, their equivalent)
