Hello Mr. Bettman? This is NBC...


Recommended Posts

NHL ratings get less than a 1 in the USA. Playoff ratings get the same. I don't see why the NHL would care who is in the Finals. The ratings in the local TV markets in Buffalo, Carolina, San Jose, Anaheim, Edmonton would be insane. Other hockey cities will get decent ratings. Nobody else cares.

 

Anyways, I thought the refs were paid by the CBC, not NBC.

How many households is OLN even available in? I think the future of the NHL is webcasting and Center Ice. Price it right and the fans will pony up the dough. In fact the NHL can tell NBC to go pound sand. The NHL will be the first direct-to-the-consumer sports league!
