Do the US cable companies carry CBC, or do you just get it with an antenna?
It's on Comcast cable in the Metro Detroit area. Of course, CBET-Windsor is just across the river.

Got CBC in Midland County (actually in Sanford or in Midland)!!
Really? I didn't think they had anything but satellite out there. When I was in Freeland, almost everyone had Dish or Direct TV. My Air BNB had Direct TV.
I actually when to Sanford to see the dam and went to Jack's Hometown Pizza. Very nice people and hot subs.

That was Espn Ocho. It's a day of programing of very questionable and strange contests. Among Them are:
Minecraft
Cherry Spitting
Bus Parking
Cow Chip Throwing
Tag
Foosball
Slippery Stairs
Putt Putt
Pogo Sticks
Air Hockey
Death Diving
Air Guitar
There's a few more. The name ocho comes from the movie Dodgeball. In the movie the games were broadcast on ESPN 8, The Ocho.

It's almost over. I just saw the Men's Marathon on NBC. At this point I'm a little burned out on the whole thing. Watching Rhythmic Gymnastics, Water Polo, and Team Handball in the middle of the night loses its charm after awhile.
