NHL Lockout Sinks Canadian TV Ratings, Annoys Petulant Network Execs
From Jamie Fitzpatrick,
Start the telethon and schedule the bake sale. Canada's TV networks need your help.
Channels that usually broadcast NHL games and highlights are losing a bundle during the lockout.
It apparently never occured to them to reduce their dependence on hockey revenue, even though everyone could see this shutdown coming for several years.
Television is the all-powerful god of sport, so we should all be losing sleep. And Canadian hockey fans are expected to shoulder their share of the blame. According to one whining television exec, Canadians aren't real hockey fans at all.
