Vancouver Canucks TV broadcast

[TimmyE]

Did anyone notice that tonight's game is on CITY-TV out of Toronto. Rogers could have used all their regular Sportsnet channels and yet they stuck the game on CITY-TV, which I can only get if I add it to my service. Just another way of squeezing a few more dollars out of me.

Probably because they know you will pay.

Sorry, my friend, but I'm not that desperate to pay to see them lose.

So far they are doing better against the Ducks then last nights game against the Kings.

Then why are you complaining

Rogers also broadcasts the odd game on FX, of all channels.

I don't really dig what they're doing with hockey broadcasts this year. It seems like there's a cast of thousands handling the in-studio end. And while I get the added coverage of Canadian teams, I watch hockey for compelling matchups, not just because one of the teams is from Canada.

And HNIC is brutal, every minute that the game is not on. Guys in suits demonstrating faceoffs? Embarassing.

Between the 2 sports channels in Canada, Sportsnet/Rogers had to win NHL contract, could not stand them before still don't.
They completely ruined HNIC, now when watching hockey I totally skip between periods. Comeback once the game starts again.
TSN would have done a much better job of it, of course could not get any worst.
