kabutar Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Is anyone concerned that a) the HNIC deal is only for 4 more years - what happens after that? Does it suddenly become Rogers Night In Canada? (ugh) CBC now loses all advertising revenue, which was used to create more original programming c) Rogers now has editorial control over a Canadian institution. I'm not a fan of the Leafs or anything, but I do see CBC's value to the country as a whole. And I don't like the thought of it being sold out to the private sector.

VancouverCanucksRock Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 So no more NHL on TSN?! That would be horrible! TSN > Sportsnets Ummm yeah, I guess you like watching other team's games cut into the Canucks games, eh? hah..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Your Huckleberry Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 TSN should make more of an effort to start broadcasting the CHL. There is already a huge demand for information about prospects so I think they could get enough viewership to make it work. Also, it would put more hockey on the tube, which would hopefully keep Rogers from maintaining a high quality broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Cole, Romanuk, Hughson, Randorf to do play-by-play for Rogers hockey Tuesday, June 3rd 2014, 4:36 am the canadian press TORONTO - Jim Hughson, Dave Randorf, Paul Romanuk and Bob Cole have been revealed as the Rogers play-by-play team for the 2014-15 NHL season. Rogers made the announcement Tuesday as it unveiled its fall schedule. Gemini Award winner Hughson will be the lead commentator when the puck drops Oct. 8. Randorf has been the full-time regional voice of the Montreal Canadiens for the last four seasons Romanuk is also a former voice of the Habs and has called several world junior championships. Cole is known to fans for his longtime presence on "Hockey Night in Canada." In November, Rogers secured a blockbuster $5.2 billion deal for NHL rights. http://home.mytelus.com/p/news/source/news_cp/category/sports/article/28610362 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it would put more hockey on the tube, which would hopefully keep Rogers from maintaining a high quality broadcast. Rogers already has the rights to that (Subway super series, CHL top prospects, Friday night hockey, Memorial Cup). But if Rogers has the NHL locked up they might not have room and sell the rights.

Bill Sikes Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 TSN Sportscentre just wasn't the same without Dan/Jay. No it drastically improved. It became a sports news/highlight show rather than a failed just for laughs routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 No it drastically improved. It became a sports news/highlight show rather than a failed just for laughs routine. Sportscentre is now poo. The kind of poo you can't get out of your butt no matter how much you wipe. I wish Jay and Dan were back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romaniuk coming back from Europe is interesting. Wasn't sure Cole would be retained, and Randorf is a bit surprising, I've come to associate him mainly with the CFL TSN broadcasts.

BanTSN Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So Canadian taxpayers have to pay to keep CBC hockey propped up?Yup. And most of the money goes to keeping Bob Cole (amazingly) alive and able to move about.But at least Ron and Don will be nixed. Or so I hope.Best of all, goodbye TSN NHL coverage. Your extreme anti-Canuck bias in your misreporting won't be missed. That includes you too, Duthie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your extreme anti-Canuck bias in your misreporting won't be missed. That includes you too, Duthie. I do not believe this to be correct. CBC will no longer make money on HNIC. They are allowed to promote their their own programs. Rogers is now the producer and as such pays for everything,even though Saturdays will still be on CBC.

Agreed. I am constantly amazed by how little people pay attention, then go off half-cocked on message boards spouting things nowehere near the easily seachable truth.
