Dave Hodge - TSN ‏@TSNDaveHodge now For those asking, I'm all out of pens to flip. I'll use the one I'm holding to list the TSN folks who made hockey TV better than ever.

this could be good news ... sportsnet can win some brownie points and do the right thing by getting the right people to replace the dead weight on HNIC

As part of 12-yr $5.2-bil #NHL broadcast deal, #Rogers will assume all editorial control, including #HNIC and on-air talent.

How about Evanka Osmak and Andi Petrillo on the hot stove...I mean literally on a hot stove giving each other the Aunt Jemima treatment.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

gee ... i wonder if the cap goes up next year lol

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Canada has 23% of NHL teams, but broadcasters pay 70% of all TV rights

blame canada indeed

 

[Cobiemonster]

So how is this going to work for teams like Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver who have their local games on Sportsnet?

Ill wait for more explanation on that but sportsnet has locked in their regional coverage so i will assume they would be moved to CITY-tv stations in each market (which rogers owns)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

now thats just downright mean lol

Way to go TSN. The hockey night in Canada theme song you paid 3 mil for a few years ago will sound great at the start of fishing and poker

Darren Millard at the podium hosting the press conference to announce the deal

2 minutes in and he's replaced by James Duthie lol

NHL model:
Professional sports leagues rarely give a monopoly to one broadcaster. The #NHL hands over everything to Rogers.

NFL model:
NFL Network shows Thursdays, NBC Sunday nights, ESPN MNF, CBS & Fox Sunday afternoons

Gary Bettman: NHL Centre Ice will be now be sold and marketed by Rogers in Canada.

huh ... what?

does that mean if youre a Bell subscriber you have to wait for them to reach a licensing deal before you are allowed to pay for it???

Replaced in two minutes? How many goals did he give up?

Just a hunch, but something tells me you're a Bell subscriber (lol)

it should matter to everyone out west since Rogers isnt a distributor of cable out here ... Bell, Telus, Shaw are

and they will all have to get those licensing deals

 

[jstewismybastardson]

ugh ... I cant wait to see his mug on all Snet promos for the next couple weeks saying their slogan

Bettman says "This is going to be fuelled by fans."

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Rogers is able to use HNIC branding on all of its Saturday night content across all channels. Wow.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Bob McKenzie (on with Drunk Uncle and Grampa Jake) sounds like somebody shot his dog

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Pratt leads with his standard first question: "Bob ... How good is that?"

turns that tweet had nothing to do with the regional contracts with western cdn teams

it was about the HNIC saturday night games ... CBC wont be broadcastinng 2 games at the same time anymore (ie Leafs game in Ontario west ... Habs game in Quebec east)

David Shoalts ‏@dshoalts now Under new deal, CBC can only show two games Sat. night, one early one late. No more multiple games for different regions. Rogers has them.

So I'm guessing Sportsnet will have a game at 4pm EST and then CBC has the 7 EST and 10 EST games? Or will Sportsnet actually get any of the 7pm EST or 10pm EST games?

If there is a Leafs game and a Habs game on at the same time say 7pm EST ... sportsnet (or possibly CITYtv) will show 1 and cbc will show the other

and you can bet that sportsnet will be showing the Leafs game
