I thought I saw a post about a huge PR. Could it be TFN in the USA deal?

Don't start creaming your pants yet... there has been no official press release about a USA or UK deal. They may be close, but in the pinks, close matters not.

MMAWeekly TV has plenty of interesting videos up right now in our MMA Premium Package. You can check out a video interview with John Alessio, who had some interesting words for Diego Sanchez. MMAWeekly TV also went one-on-one with Jeremy Horn this week, plus we have training video of Royce Gracie as he gets set to battle Matt Hughes, and we will continue our countdown to UFC 60 with a different video every day leading up to this weekend's pay-per-view event.
Also, as a bonus for MMAWeekly Premium subscribers, this weekend we will have live radio shows from Los Angeles, as Damon Martin anchors our radio coverage of both Friday's weigh-in and Saturday's pre-game show before UFC 60. That's for our premium members. If you've thought about becoming a premium member, now is the time.

Does anybody know if the UK market is bigger than Canada? In other words, will TFN get broadcast into more homes in the UK than is being broadcast in Canada?
I'm still of the opinion that until we get USA carriage, it really won't matter what other countries TFN is in. USA is the key.
