Hamilton Tiger-Cats News Release


Tiger-Cats have been asking for more television coverage about their favorite team. Hamilton-area TV stations have responded.

CH TV will be televising several Tiger-Cats programming features including:
* the Sunday night SportsScope program, airing at 11:30 pm.
* CH Morning Live will interview head coach Greg Marshall on the first day following each home game.
* CH Morning Live will also air features on different parts of the organization
* Matt Hayes and the weather at noon will air live on CH during various times of the season from Ivor Wynne Stadium or other Tiger-Cats related events.
* Chances to win tickets for every home game on CH Morning Live

"CH is proud to support the Tiger-Cat tradition and help play a significant role in promoting the team's new beginnings," said CH TV General Manager Patrick O'Hara.

Cogeco cable will also cover the Tiger-Cats, with tape-delayed coverage of the pre-season game against the Toronto Argonauts on May 30, and the regular season game against Saskatchewan on September 19. The pre-season game will be aired at 6:30 pm on Cable 14 in Hamilton and Grimsby, Cable 23 in Halton and Cable 10 in Niagara and St. Catharines. Cable 14 in Hamilton, will also air Tiger-Cat related programming during the summer and fall months.

Gaston Germain, VP and General Manager for Cogeco Cable believes that a partnership between Cogeco and the Tiger-Cats makes sense. "Our business is the provision of top quality cable entertainment and one of the fastest high speed internet services in North America," he said, "while the Tiger-Cats are dedicated to providing a fast-paced, entertaining, high-caliber sports product. Our coverage of the non-broadcast games has always proven popular with local viewers."
