They've done a deal with Frito-Lay to actually interrupt shows to make a special "breaking news" announcement should this country finally put one past a goalkeeper.
"17 Bell Media radio stations across the country will simultaneously interrupt programming with “breaking news” and a Frito-Lay tag to announce a Canadian goal, with instantaneous supplementary support across stations’ social media channels."
OK, I guess, but if I were interested in the outcome of the game, I probably wouldn't be listening to one of those 17 Bell stations - I'd be watching it on TSN or CTV or listening to it on the radio. In any event, as most now know, they didn't get the chance on Wednesday. It will have to wait until the next game against Croatia on Nov. 27th.
They outline the strategy here.

Now if they were also giving away bags and bags of no longer available in Canada regular Bugles corn snacks, I'd be keen.

I thought doing a fake news broadcast as part of a commercial was illegal.

Too bad I guess if one is taping the game to enjoy later. Some work - at work, during the day

If you have a radio station playing music in your office building during the day, hopefully, it's not one owned by Bell.
