It comes on at 9:00 am PT - I doubt they start much earlier than that in Vancouver. They go to commercial when an end is over, and when they come back to the match there are usually a few rocks already played (sometimes more than a few if they had some kind of update). After the 5th end they have more commercials and more Rogin time, which seems like they are following the action live. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
