This for me. They recap some stuff before the show starts, and 3 hour shows don't start early for me, they start at normal time. 15 min delay does not bother me at all tbh.I live in Canada too and the 15 minute delay is pretty stupid. I don't even know why the hell they have the stupid delay but whatever, streams are my friend on Monday nights for Raw.
If Raw starts at 6:15pm like it does now when Raw goes 3 hours then I'm officially done with The Score. Even their highlights aren't that great, so no point in keeping the channel.15 min delay sucks cause you can't watch any show before cause you'll always have to stop halfway through in order to watch Raw.
It's done cause the score can only have a certain amount of live shows a year on their channel, and using up 52 weeeks of live Raw will really hurt them in getting live shows for other stuff. Though don't know how live horse racing is more important?
Really wonder what'd happen if the 3 hour raw(which I'm guessing starts at 8pm) that Raw will have starting at the end of July, will air at 8pm, 8:15pm or 9:15pm(like all episodes of raw do,3 hours or not).
If it's 9:15pm like usual, then they can forget about canada watching Raw.
The score is doing great with their wwe programming, but they just don't have the money to support all of these stuff.
So this might explain why live Smackdowns don't get the 15-minute delays.15 min delay sucks cause you can't watch any show before cause you'll always have to stop halfway through in order to watch Raw.
