Hockey fight in Canada : the big media faceoff over the NHL
by David Shoalts
In late 2013, Canadians were intrigued to learn the NHL chose Rogers as its exclusive national broadcaster over both CBC and Rogers's bitter rival, Bell Canada. The decision was met with equal parts fascination, shock and anger. When CBC rank-and-file employees came to believe their leaders missed a chance to hold on to at least a part of Hockey Night in Canada--a move that could have saved some of their jobs--their disappointment turned to outrage. This is also a story of great irony, as the win proved to be costly for the victor in the first years.
