Or maybe it means NBC produces and televise and announce the east games and Sportsnet the West.
Doesn’t make any sense to produce west games and announce east games
What I am saying is that while NBC will producing the video in the east, and Sportsnet in the west, I think both will have announcers in each hub. So, NBC would have announcers in Edmonton to do the games they want to focus on and simply use the Sportsnet announcer feed for the others. Similarly, Sportsnet would have announcers in Toronto to do the games they want. But I can't see Rogers being very happy with paying over $400M a year and being forced to air NBC announcers for Toronto and Montreal playoff games.
