I haven't a clue. But they've got some kind of lease. Every team in every sport has one. And they're long term leases too.go kim johnsson said:When is the lease up?
Doesn't Jerry Angelo own the Suns AND the arena?

Ah, but there's little reason to let the team you own not play in the arena you own.go kim johnsson said:Yeah, but if the owner of the team and the owner of the arena is the same person, it won't take much to get out of the lease.
CarlRacki said:I can't believe some people think this is a good thing and are under the woefully misguided impression that the NHL would be better served by the likes of Spike TV.
Hello? Nobody watches Spike TV except for wrestling fans!

"Gary" works at the behest of the owners. Some people seem to forget that. The last CBA was extended against his wishes as far as I know.hockeytown9321 said:And, wouldn't it have been terribly irresponsible for Gary to extend a CBA that he knew was driving the NHL out of business just so they could go to the Olympics?
RangerBoy said:Will USA Network get better ratings for hockey or SVU/Law In Order?At 8:00,
Special Victims Unit is a staple on USA Network
During the playoffs,will USA Network pay for the production costs associated with putting on two playoff games at the same time?Does USA Network have the technology to split the country?Example:The Devils are playing the Flyers on USA Network.The game will be blacked out in the New York,New Jersey and Philly areas.ESPN would show another game to those blacked out viewers.Is USA able to show another game?ESPN would show those fans Boston-Montreal.
zeppelin97 said:And CSI fans. Theres no way that spike would actually WANT to air NHL games in place of CSI (re-runs by the way) during primetime. Unless of course making less money was a goal.

there's plenty of money if they want it
go kim johnsson said:RAW is 2 hours on Monday, then they have Velocity (1 hour) on Saturday Night, and then 'Experience' (a show about when the wrestlers do other projects, sign autographs, etc) on Sunday Morning for an hour, and Heat every Sunday Night from 7-8. Raw is the only show that brings in any ratings.

Does that mean... negotiations with a lightsaber? Sorry, just had to.
X-SHARKIE said:lol, never thought of that, After seeing Episode 3 last Thursday, and buying the Original trilogy on DVD this Tuesday, you would think I would've noticed what I said my self.
But no, no Lightsaber negotiations haha...If only though eh? We would be watching NHL playoffs as we speek.
Newsguyone said:I checked Spike TV's corporate website and checked their advertising demographic studies.
Apparently, companies that sell hygienic products will not advertise with that audience.
However, one dental floss company does advertise with Spike. Strange, though. The floss is three inches thick.
Spike tv is a failure.
The NHL needs the credibility of a real sports network.
ESPECIALLY after this amatuer hour lockout.
Truth be told ESPN has been in decline for sometime, it's turning into MTV when it decided to get rid of music.triggrman said:Now ESPN is ragging on basketball ratings. Funny ESPN sounds like the problem to me.
