Hockey Night in Canada will be on CBC until 2016
Sorry about being late with this news — I’ve been on a flight to Toronto most of the day.
The CBC and the NHL announced a new television deal Monday that will keep Hockey Night in Canada on the air until 2014.
The six-year broadcast deal, which includes national English-language broadcast and multimedia rights to NHL games in Canada, will begin when the current agreement between the CBC and the league expires after the 2007-08 season.
“Can you imagine seven more years of me? How can it get any better?” Don Cherry, co-host of Coach’s Corner, told CBC Sports Online.

$25 million more per year and giving up exclusive rights to Cdn teams first round games (i.e. the Leafs make the playoffs, the CBC makes $$$) … the fine print … not as great as it sounds…
I saw the celebration for myself… clicking on my name links to the blog post..
There was much joy and free coffee and donuts.

Hmmm…point taken re: some of that fine print.
