Canada’s Olympic Broadcasting Consortium’s Schedule for Day 2 of the Winter Olympics

We’ll be posting these as they become available. CTV’s supposed to e-mail the releases, but I have to go to its media website to get these instead. As long as CTV is not being cooperative, I’ll just go to the website and copy & paste. So here is what you’ll see in Canada and along the US border towns on CTV, V, TSN, Rogers Sportsnet and RDS on Saturday.

Day 2 Highlights: Saturday, Feb. 13 Canada Looks to Win First Gold on Home Soil
