The CBC’s inaugural Toronto Raptors telecast on Sunday will not be seen in Atlantic Canada because of a scheduling conflict.

The network’s commitment to Skate Canada coverage early in the afternoon, combined with the one-hour time difference between the East and Atlantic zones, will result in Maritime viewers getting a movie instead of a basketball game.

Viewers with digital television, however, will be able to watch the Boston Celtics-Raptors telecast on a CBC outlet in another region.

Scott Moore, head of CBC Sports, said that despite the conflict, he didn’t want to pass on the Raptors-Celtics game given the off-season roster changes made by Boston, most significantly the acquisition of Kevin Garnett.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH this is some serious BS.

I now call you the Crappy Broadcasting Corporation.
