The Globe and Mail's Steve Ladurantaye reports the following regarding the NHL's Canadian TV rights...
The National Hockey League is close to a deal that will keep Hockey Night in Canada on CBC for the next decade, but the exclusive rights won’t come cheaply for the cash-strapped public broadcaster.
The deal would be part of a wide-ranging agreement that ensures Saturday night and Stanley Cup Finals broadcasts remain key components of CBC’s programming, but would see broadcasting rivals Bell Media and Rogers Media bulk up their schedules with more playoff games. One of the competitors – likely Rogers – will also score the rights to an exclusive Canadian game on Sunday nights.
