2000s
Notes
- Since 1985, cable channel TSN has covered the CFL in the regular season (via their Friday Night Football package), but through 2007, hadn't to televise a single CFL playoff game, let alone the Grey Cup. Beginning in 2008, TSN gained exclusive coverage rights to the CFL.
- American sports network Versus carried the 2008 game. In 2009, ESPN360 made the game available on broadband in the United States. America One syndicated the game for broadcast and cable, a broadcast picked up by several regional sports networks.
1990s
Notes
- In the United States, the 1992 and 1993 games were on SportsChannel America, while ESPN2 televised the game from 1994 to 1997.
1980s
Notes
- The 1982 Grey Cup broadcast drew the largest Canadian TV audience up to that time.
- After the 1986 season, CTV dropped coverage of the CFL altogether. In response to this, the CFL formed its own syndicated network, called CFN (Canadian Football Network). CFN had completely separate coverage of the Grey Cup (when compared to CBC), utilizing its own production and commentators. From 1987-1989, a weekly CFN game telecast, including playoffs and the Grey Cup championship, aired in the United States on a tape-delay basis on ESPN.
