The National Hockey League (NHL) is making a bold move to take control of its own content production, amidst the decline of regional sports networks (RSNs). As more RSNs struggle to stay afloat, the NHL is betting on in-house production to bring its games directly to fans. This shift in strategy comes as a response to the rising costs and decreasing revenue of RSNs, which have long been the primary carriers of NHL games. By producing its own content, the NHL hopes to increase its revenue streams and reduce its reliance on third-party networks.
