FFCBC Considers Television Coverage


The chair of Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship says he will entertain discussions with Shaw Cable about having next year's tournament broadcast on television.

Shaw aired tournaments in Kenora and Dryden last year, but provided no live coverage to the Fort Frances event.

Gord Watson says part of the reason was because Shaw said it was unable financially to be an event sponsor and that its mobile unit may not be available.

Watson says the committee is interested in having the tournament covered but not at their expense.

Nearly $3,000 was paid to Shaw to have it on site for the 2010 tournament.
