A detailed breakdown examines the NHL’s Canadian television landscape, focusing on fan frustrations with the current broadcasting setup and potential regulatory challenges ahead. The analysis highlights how French-language broadcasts may offer more viewing options for Habs and Sens supporters compared to other markets. A table included in the piece breaks down next season’s game allocations across broadcasters and languages, revealing disparities in availability. Fans and analysts alike are watching closely as tensions over scheduling and competition among providers—including possible CRTC intervention—could reshape how hockey is distributed in Canada.
Just thought this breakdown and analysis of the NHL's current Canadian TV situation from my boy Fagstein might be helpful to people here. We're all obviously annoyed with Rogers. He lays out some potential happenings on the horizon, including the possibility that another broadcaster (like Bell) might lodge a CRTC complaint about the Monday night shenanigans. He also includes a table at the bottom, outlining how many games each Canadian franchise has next season with each broadcaster, in both languages. (One takeaway: Habs and Sens fans who speak French or are willing to watch French-language broadcasts have more/cheaper options than the rest of the fanbases do.) submitted by /u/dzuunmod [link] [comments]
