As a college student myself, a huge sports fan and having friends that are extremely huge sports fans .... If people have cable, they have TSN on .... if they have a choice they have TSN on.... If they need to check scores on a website or look something up , then they will go to tsn.ca
No one likes sportsnet, no one cares about them. TSN has that youth market. Even for people that like multiple sports (NBA, NFL, NHL) , they will watch sportscentre on TSN. I dont' think I know anyone that says they are watching Sportsnet connected or whatever there equivalent is. The only (and extremely big) thing that changed is no more NHL hockey, but if coverage of highlights/games, and other shows are put on TSN, people will still be watchign TSN as there #1 network with Sportsnet on during the games.
