"Hockey Night In Canada" Question

D

danderson6500

How does Rogers decide which games air on which networks? for example a Toronto Maple Leafs game on CBC, a Montreal Canadiens game on City, a Ottawa Senators game on Sportsnet, etc?
 
simple
If Toronto plays on Saturday....they are on CBC

after that its decided by Rogers who is on what network. Looking at January it looks rather easy due to not enough Candian teams playing or playing each other
Jan 6th
CBC & City-Tor/Vancouver
SN-Ottawa
Calgary on late game.....

Jan 13th
Winnipeg/MN on CITY
Montreal/Boston on CBC and SN
Edmonton on late game on both CBC & SN

Jan 20th
Winnipeg/Calgary on CBC (matinee)
Boston/Montreal on SN
Toronto/Ottawa on CBC and CITY
Vancouver/Edmonton on late
 
Going way back, in the 1990s when CBC was on satellite, it seemed that the Montreal one on E2/1 always seemed to carry the Habs game, while E2/9 seemed to carry the Leafs, but sometimes, like in the playoffs, CBC's occasional feeds (E2/7 & 17) would be lit up, like if there was more than 2 games that night.

back when CBC owned HNIC they used split feeds for the local CBC feeds. So when Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal all played same time but not against each other CBC would have split feeds where CBC Ottawa had that game, CBC Montreal had Habs game and Toronto usually was on the rest. But lets say Mtl played Detroit then CBC Windsor would have the game too

One more than one occasion, CBC did 3 games. One time the Habs game was seen in Quebec only, the Leafs game was seen in most of Ontario, B.C. and Atlantic Canada, and the Sens game was seen in Ottawa and Calgary(due to the Flames visiting the Senators that night.) They very rarely did more than 2 games in one slot back then.

When I was in school in central NY in the mid-'70s, pre-WHA merger, I'd watch HNIC via CKWS in Kingston, Ont. The game was almost always Leafs -- only got the Canadiens when the Leafs were playing out west. I guess the league never scheduled Montreal and Toronto to be in LA and Vancouver at the same time.
 
If i remember my satellite info correctly, CBC had 3 feeds back then- E1/11 (Pacific time zone, usually showed Flames, Canucks or Oilers in playoffs), E1/20 (The Montreal CBC station, usually Habs games), E1/23 (Atlantic Time Zone, usually showing Leafs games.)

Weren't most Canucks home games back then scheduled for 5 P.M. PST, so they'd be played at the same time as the Montreal or Toronto games? if so, a Leafs or Habs game from Vancouver could be seen back to their home city. CBC would occasionally preempt it's national news in the late 80s/early 90s to show a LA Kings game(of course with Wayne Gretzky, after he had been traded) against Montreal or Toronto.
