Confirmed with Link: NHL signs 12-year TV, Internet deal with Rogers | 22 Habs Games on TVA/TVA Sport

- Start date
I'm all for Bell losing their rights. **** them.
As for the games, I could care less who the broadcasters are. I just want to watch every Habs game, every season. That's all I care about.

I'm reading conflicting news. I don't understand. Will RDS still show habs games? Some are saying TVAS will show 22 games, but some other reports are saying RDS and TSN lost all rights.

terrible news
TSN has Jets exclusive rights, signed with that team till 2021. Probably something can be done directly with the Habs too. I just verified and their official -exclusive- tv rights, ended in 2014 also. So that means, if they dont renew it, RDS will loose it.

I'd be pretty pissed off if there were any blackout restrictions on games like some other teams have. It would be a huge step backwards for hockey. I wish the NHL weren't all about the money. Sportsnet/CBC are far behind TSN in terms of production values and non-homerism. If you think TSN is Toronto Sports Network just wait until you have to watch games on Sportsnet.
Really hope RDS is keeping all 82 Habs games. I quite like their commentators even though I don't speak French.

True. Maybe it's the first time since 25 years people are quite happy with Pierre Houde and Marc Denis.

The CBC and Rogers must have offered the NHL way more money than TSN was prepared to do, it seems weird that the now mighty TSN will take a backseat to the weakling Sportsnet. The only loser in all of this will be the fans, we will get less access and less games available to us. I guess major cuts will come at hockey mad TSN and I wouldn't be surprised to see many of the TSN guys jumping ship to Rogers.
Well it would mean more hockey without having Center Ice with my cable package.
20 teams on a single night covered? Hell yeah!
Bad things : No more 24CH / L'Anti-chambre.
Good things : No more non-english speaking interviewers, no more draft coverage by experts like Gaston Therrien....
Where did you see this? Is this just somebody's fantasy or Rogers' acutal plan?

they black out games that aren't within your area though, so the amount of channels is meaningless.
But that was before Sportsnet had national rights. Right now all they have is regional. Now they own EVERYTHING.

It is good that I do not have a job that involves me interpreting data. Were it the case, I think everything would be on fire by now.

All the games/rights on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday that Rogers just won, are now considered national.... no blackouts.
