i know it is something i've read in a book but wasn't John Shannon fired for the same reason as Dave Hodge?(resisting CBC's demand that they go to The National after a series clinching game?) he didn't want to, but CBC kept telling him to go to the news and he refused and he got canned.(the fact that CBC insisted that the start of its nightly news not be delayed by even three minutes to finish a game caused two employees to get fired for not liking or defying that policy) the incident with the curling match in 87 and then the Habs/Flyers game the same night i guess caused CBC to rethink that policy, and also to make sure all HNIC games were finished before The National.
