People will instinctively tune into CBC on Saturday night for the game but over time HNIC may get pushed aside for a younger flashier show/presentation of some type. Grapes is getting up there and he may want to bow out in the next 4 years or so anyway, McLame will be weeded out and Bob Cold is toast guaranteed after this season. PJSuck better hope TSN radio will take him back. The rest of the leaf fans there will find jobs at SN, they like Healy and Friedman, they had part time gigs there anyway.

In addition to its exclusive rights for all playoff and Stanley Cup Final games, Rogers has exclusive rights to special events such as future NHL All-Star Games and NHL Drafts.<br /><br />The agreement guarantees that there will be no further regionalization of games or local blackouts. Rogers has three exclusive windows to broadcast any game involving a Canadian team -- Wednesday nights, Saturday nights (including CBC) and Sunday nights.<br /><br />Viewers on Saturday nights will get every game regardless of where they reside and certain games involving two U.S.-based teams.<br /><br />According to an example provided by Rogers, if the agreement were in place this season Canadians would have had access to five games spread over 11 different channels, including three TVA channels (French-language only), in the 7 p.m. ET window this past Saturday.<br /><br />The new Sunday night national broadcast will feature marquee matchups.<br /><br />In addition, Rogers will use its digital technology to stream games on the Internet, wireless and mobile devices, and satellite radio. Rogers will operate NHL Center Ice and NHL GameCenter Live in Canada.<br /><br />"Sports content is a key strategic asset and we've been investing significantly to strengthen our sports offering to Canadians," said Nadir Mohamed, President and Chief Executive Officer, Rogers Communications. "Canadians are passionate about hockey, and through this landmark partnership with the NHL we'll be able to bring hockey fans more games and more content on their platform of choice."<br /><br />Sportsnet TV currently has the regional rights to the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators. It broadcasts 264 NHL games per year, the most games featuring Canadian teams among all Canadian broadcast companies.<br /><br />Rogers Communications owns a 37.5 percent stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and has an alliance with the Canucks, including the naming rights of Rogers Arena, Vancouver's home building. Rogers is also the telecommunications sponsor of the Oilers.<br /><br />Rogers Media president Keith Pelley is the former President of TSN and the head of the 2010 Canadian Olympic broadcast consortium. President of Broadcast Scott Moore is the former head of CBC Sports.<br /><br />"Our vision is to build on the NHL's legacy in Canada with an emphasis on storytelling, innovation, and technology -- weaving the NHL, its teams and its stars even deeper into the fabric of Canadian culture," Pelley said. "Today's announcement significantly increases the value of our premium Sportsnet brand and reinforces our commitment to making Sportsnet the No. 1 sports media brand in Canada."<br /><br />---<br />jucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264173772457126162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439155389759188362.post-44703697419505210462013-11-26T13:34:54.122-05:002013-11-26T13:34:54.122-05:00"According to a memo circulated at CBC Tuesda..."According to a memo circulated at CBC Tuesday after the announcement, the CBC will pay no rights fees for carrying games and will not have access to the advertising revenue.

I've been wondering whether or not to reconnect the cable or get the fibreop that Bell is constantly peddling. I agree with the M, in theory us folks on the east coast SHOULD see Habs games they choose to air on SN East or 1 or whatever. Sportsnet is the one network that actually embraced PK - we was a rockstar on their network during the lockout. They may still despise the Habs, but I think the PK relationship can only help our potential interaction between the network and the Habs. Maybe they'll even hire former Habs to do the games and analysis. Good vibes.
