Television stations in hotels

Have you noticed that there are hotels even in Canada that don't have any of the Canadian sports networks available? You would think that even if the hotel chain is an American chain, that they would consider that Canadians would like to enjoy sports like they do.

Recently we were in Niagara Falls and I decided that it would be nice to watch a hockey game that was going to be televised on Sportsnet. Well, I turned on the television and scrolled through all the available challenges, and what I discovered was there weren't any Sportsnet available at all. It can be disappointing when you want to watch something, and it isn't available. This hasn't just happened in Niagara Falls, it has happened in St Jacob’s as well as Belleville.

I have written a number of emails and reviews about this being something that needs to be considered because there are a lot of sports fans that travel and watching sports in the evening is something that a lot of them would want to do. Yes, I might be able to find a local restaurant or bar that is broadcasting the sports that I want to watch, but there are times that relaxing in my room and watching sports is a lot more enjoyable.

Being a sports fan and travelling, at least here in Ontario can be a challenge to watch the sports that I want to watch. What this is showing me that investing in a streaming channel that does the sports broadcasts is something that I am going to have to look into. The streaming channel would work at home, and it would also work when we are travelling, so maybe to get around hotels that don't think sports fans travel we will get the streaming channel.
