Okay, it's time to fucking riot

CBC will no longer air NHL games, ending Hockey Night in Canada’s 75-year run on public network

Sub-licensing agreement between Rogers and CBC that allowed the program to air on the network expired at the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs

Goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: FUCK ROGERS, and fuck the Canadian telecoms oligarchy

CBC will no longer show NHL games as sublicense with rights-holder Rogers Sportsnet ends | CBC Sports

The NHL will no longer be shown on CBC after it and national rights-holder Rogers Sportsnet were unable to come to agreement on a new sublic

CBC Sports:

The NHL will no longer be shown on CBC after it and national rights-holder Rogers Sportsnet were unable to come to agreement on a new sublicensing deal that would have allowed the public broadcaster to air games on its Saturday program Hockey Night in Canada. The CBC, which began televising NHL games in 1952, had operated under that agreement since Rogers Sportsnet acquired the league’s Canadian rights in 2013 for $5.2 billion. Rogers Sportsnet renewed those rights with a 12-year, $11.2-billion deal to begin in October. The CBC and Rogers Sportsnet announced the change in a joint statement Tuesday.

“After a successful 12-year partnership, Sportsnet and CBC today announced the public broadcaster will no longer carry NHL broadcasts after the current season as it moves forward with a new sports programming strategy following the unprecedented success of the Milano/Cortina Olympic Games,” the statement said. “Watching hockey on Saturday night is a time-honoured tradition for Canadians, and Sportsnet is privileged to continue delivering that tradition. This has been a terrific partnership, and both parties look forward to continued opportunities to collaborate in the future.” In its place, CBC will launch a new Saturday night prime time show on CBC and streaming on CBC Gem, featuring Canadian athletes competing at home and at the biggest events around the world. 

[...] In addition, Radio-Canada, the broadcaster’s French-language service, will launch Rendez-vous Podium, a weekly show on ICI TÉLÉ and ICI TOU.TV on Sunday afternoons.

Sad day for Canada (and Americans who preferred CBC's coverage, especially if you had CBC available): The venerable Saturday night institution known as Hockey Night In Canada (HNIC) won't back on CBC next year.
