[2] On August 30, 2012, CBC Sports announced that they would air the 2012-13 Grand Slam of Curling in partnership with Sportsnet.
[3] Cross Canada Curling was a series presented on CBC's World of Sport from 1961-1965.
[5] The CBC broadcast Canadian Curling Association matches, including the Tim Hortons Brier and the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, from 1966-2008.
During this period, TSN covered most weekday matches, and CBC came in for the semifinals and finals on the weekend.
This resulted in criticism from curling fans, sponsors, and ultimately the CCA itself, which claimed the CBC was in breach of contract and unilaterally ended the agreement after one season.
The CBC threatened legal action, but ultimately agreed to once again divide rights with TSN from 2005 to 2007.
