Loyal viewers of WCG-TV Rivers Channel 12 will know that Brandon’s Super League curling games are aired every Wednesday evening at 8:30 p.m. That league ended for another season on Jan. 25 (be sure to tune in again next October for the 2015-16 season), but curling is not yet completed. Our fibre connection with the head office in Brandon allows us to air live coverage of this year’s Safeway Championship Curling (as well as many other live events). Those who subscribe to television services in Rivers through Westman Communications Group will be able to watch some great curling from the comfort of their own home!
