TV coverage in Canada.

[DanStewart]

Does anyone know when the NHL TV schedule comes out?

Who is showing games this season in Canada? CBC, TSN, Sportsnet have all shown games in the past but I have not seen anything from them as of yet.

Anyone know anything?

I emailed sportsnet (Canada) and they responded that they will be releasing their schedule sometime around mid-September. I would imagine CBC and TSN will be doing so at very close to the same time.....

As far as I know, all three networks will be continuing coverage.

Canucks have their TV schedule up...not officially, but if you snoop around enough it's there. TSN, Sportsnet, CBC are all showing games. They've also increased the # of PPV games.

All the networks continue to fine/refine the schedules. The lateness of the OLN deal in the US has played a role in the delay.

Oilers is up ...

From Press Release ...

"A total of 78 games from the Oilers 82-game regular season will be televised locally this season, with 10 slated exclusively for Pay-Per-View. The majority of Oilers telecasts will take place on Rogers Sportsnet West (50), with 12 games on CBC?s Hockey Night In Canada, and another 6 games on TSN. Only 4 games will not be available for telecast."

TSN just posted theirs.
"TSN welcomes back the National Hockey League with a comprehensive 2005-06 national broadcast schedule featuring 71 regular season games, the first three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, 42 games featuring Canadian teams and four all-Canadian match-ups."
Here's that article, it has a link to their full schedule in it: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=135208&hubName=nhl

wooohooooo 4 Islanders games on the TSN schedule. I give them credit for picking up 1 rangers/islanders game. They also smart picking up Islanders/Ottawa(Yashin and all). Hopefully they pick up a few more Islanders games because I live in the "leaf region" and they usually have tons of leafs games during the season.

The predators get 4 games on tsn... more than they get on their own national television...

TSN hardly ever shows Leaf games... This season only 10 games are Leaf games

They show alot of Leafs games in the leafs region only IIRC.

To be honest I think this is a misconception, because TSN often plays games at the same time as leaf games are on CBC or Sportsnet or whatever, and also because most people will only tune into TSN for a Leaf game. I live in "Leaf region" and I don't really associate Leaf games with TSN at all. Anyway, it's all subjective. Fact is this year 14% of TSN aired games are Leaf games, which is still too many IMO, but pretty good.

Considering that we only have 6 teams in canada how is 14 % too much? Every team should have roughly 16 % TSN aired games for it to be equal.

Even one Leaf game is one game too many.

TSN doesn't show games at the same time as CBC and Sportsnet, only one network can show a game at one time, they have exclusive rights to that game. TSN does show a lot of regional Leafs games, I live in the Leafs region and between CBC, TSN, and Sportsnet I can get 82 Leafs games a year, which comes in handy when the Leafs play a team I want to watch.
