First broadcast on the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] in [[1952 in Canadian football|1952]], for many years the Grey Cup has been the largest television event in Canada, regularly drawing a combined Canadian viewing audience in excess of 4 million on the CBC (over-the-air, in English) and [[Réseau des sports|RDS]] (cable, in French).<ref name="Houston"/> Starting in 2008, cable network [[The Sports Network|TSN]] will be the exclusive provider of the Grey Cup for English viewers while RDS will remain the provider for the French broadcast.
From [[1962 CFL season|1962]] through [[1986 CFL season|1986]], CBC and [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] [[simulcast]] the Grey Cup. In [[1962 CFL season|1962]], [[1965 CFL season|1965]], [[1967 CFL season|1967]], [[1968 CFL season|1968]] and [[1970 CFL season|1970]], CTV commentators were used for the dual network telecast, while in [[1963 CFL season|1963]], [[1964 CFL season|1964]], [[1966 CFL season|1966]] and [[1969 CFL season|1969]], CBC announcers were provided. From [[1971 CFL season|1971]] through [[1986 CFL season|1986]], one network's crew called the first half while the other called the rest of the game. After the 1986 season, CTV dropped coverage of the CFL and the Grey Cup. From [[1987 CFL season|1987]] through [[1990 CFL season|1990]], the CFL operated its own syndicated network, [[Canadian Football Network|CFN]]. CFN had completely separate coverage of the Grey Cup, utilizing its own production and commentators. ESPN, during the years of the American expansion in the mid-1990s, televised the game live on ESPN 2. Today, the CFL has arranged a loose association of regional sports networks (such as NESN, Comacast Sportsnet, and Sportsnet NY) and stations to cover weekly broadcasts and the Grey Cup on a tape-delay basis.[http://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=page&id=314]
