A couple of months back (when we were in the middle of all the wedding craziness) a story came out about Bell Globemedia pondering a large bid for the Hockey Night in Canada franchise. I found a piece on VancouverCanucksOpEd.com that I found tonight researching another article that talks about this story and a few fans’ reaction to it.
OK, none of us is too impressed with the thought of HNIC becoming a property of the Toronto Sports Network, but what if it were to go somewhere else, like SportsNet?
With their actual national coverage in all regions, this would make a great home for HNIC and take the multi-million dollar burden of producing hockey broadcasts off the taxpayer. Add to that some of the quality issues CBC is having with its broadcasts (namely reliable play-by-play teams during the playoffs) and the whole Ron McLean business and I think it might be time to consider a new home for HNIC.
