In a groundbreaking move, the National Hockey League (NHL) is set to take a significant step into the world of local television broadcasting. Starting this season, the NHL will produce and distribute local game telecasts for four teams: the Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, and St. Louis Blues. This bold initiative marks a shift in the way the league approaches local broadcasting, as the NHL will now be responsible for producing and distributing games to regional audiences. The move is expected to bring a more consistent viewing experience to fans in these markets, while also providing the league with greater control over the presentation and promotion of its games.
