Hockey is the 4th smallest sport in Denmark with just 8000 members registred with the danish icehockey union in 2018. Theres very little hype outside of social media, the already established fans and Herning.

Its not worth it for TV2 to show it on the main channel. Would disrupt their normal schedule in prime time.

TV2 is a commercial station. They dont work with or for the danish hockey union to spread a sport. They are here to make money. There is hardly any money in broadcasting hockey in Denmark.

Sport1 has been broadcasting the World Championships for years now and I'm pretty sure they acquired the rights for this year's tournament long before the olympics started

edit: just found this article from 2016 when Sport1 announced they acquired the rights up untill the 2023 tournament:
Nach Vertragsverlängerung: Eishockey-WM bis 2023 LIVE bei SPORT1

And they do it pretty good, I've to say. Good commentators and a professional production all around.

It's all about money - People pay extra for sport via tv or tv2play.

TV2 could easily show the games (at least the Danish games) there with enough viewers - Im sure what they show isn't that important..

 

[Urbanskog]

I had a look at the front page of Jyllands Posten's web site and the tournament seems to be well covered. There's actually a section called "VM i ishockey" and both of the afternoon games to start the tournament were covered.

 

[DashingDane]

Excited about this one!! Just hope I can find a decent stream somewhere as I can't find any US channels showing the game.

 

[OregonCanuck]

Go Germany

It would mean that they had to move Dancing with the stars or Denmark got Talent (we really dont have any), and that would mean a lot of lost watchers I think.
