TV market could prevent Coyotes’ move to Winnipeg
Shoalts:
The title is a little misleading considering the report states that the Coyotes will likely be relocating.

It's not that they don't want to go back to Winnipeg, it's that they want to keep the Phoenix market,” said one governor, who believes Winnipeg will be the next city to get an NHL franchise even if the Coyotes stay in Arizona. “All our broadcast partners want to keep that market.”
One former governor said the new NBC contract probably calls for “a credit back and forth” depending on what happens in Phoenix.
At this point, it looks like the Coyotes will return to Winnipeg, from whence they came in 1996. None of the governors interviewed were optimistic the municipal bond deal that is supposed to pay for Chicago businessman Matthew Hulsizer's purchase of the Coyotes from the NHL can be saved.
