Global's schedule is pretty open on weekends too and they've covered it nicely. For that matter, what does CTV (owner of TSN) run on sundays? My fingers are crossed that one of these guys picks it up.

Although Global does well with the 3 Canadian races, I'm afraid the ratings for the other events are so poor in Canada that any major broadcaster would be hard pressed to pick up the coverage, especially in prime-time.
