As originally written by Tim Brulia:

If this can work out, this may be the first in a series.

This thread will be a complete season of CFL TV crews for 1986. I chose 1986 mostly because it was the last year CTV did CFL games, it was the last season of the dual CBC-CTV feed of the Grey Cup and, there were relatively few crews working these games. CBC normally employed one crew in '86, but would split them in half when called upon for regional telecasts; Don Wittman (pxp), Ron Lancaster and Chuck Ealey (analysts) and Steve Armitage on the sidelines. CTV normally used two crews, one for games played in the East (Pat Marsden on pxp, Leif Pettersen as analyst and Bill Stephenson as SLR) and a crew for Western games (Dale Isaac pxp, Frank Rigney analyst and Al McCann prowling the sidelines). As well, not every game was televised and these will be noted also.

In actuality, the years from 1987-2009 or so will be more difficult to gather crews for specific games (if not impossible) as Canadian newspapers by and large never monitored this information. But the networks televising these games should be easy to gather.

As always, please notify if you should spot errors or omissions. Thanks to djob (and others) for his insight.
