CBC drops television coverage

Due to a dispute with iSport Media, the Slam management organization, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which had been covering the Slams for four years, dropped their coverage of the 2012 National event at the last minute. It will make the first time since the 1962 Macdonald Brier that CBC will not be broadcasting curling.{{cite web|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/more-sports/cbc-drops-last-remnants-of-curling-from-its-schedule/article2308793/|title=CBC drops last remnants of curling from its schedule|date=19 January 2012|publisher=The Globe and Mail}}
