Jaimoe Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I just heard this announced on TSN. I can imagine CBC sports head-honchos will not be pleased when TSN airs the hell out of the theme for every regular season and particularly every freaking playoff game. Shame on you CBC, but you deserve the egg on you collective faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 CBC wants to die. It's the only reason I can think that would justify their idiocy of handing over the single most recognized tune on Canadian TV to their chief rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 And from where I'm sitting, it seemed to be that the CBC was nickel and diming during the whole dispute, especially when you look what just happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Of course the CBC can cry about using tax dollars to dictate their bidding, but they also use tax dollars to fund brutal made-for-tv movies and Air Farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 CTV swept in on this deal! CBC announced on Friday that they wouldn't make a deal, and then by Monday afternoon CTV makes this announcement. Someone better get fired at CBC over this gaffe.

dave-O Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Here's the key part:CTV Inc. has acquired all rights to 'The Hockey Theme' in perpetuity, preserving the song's legacy and ensuring it will be heard on national television for years to come.This ain't a license that will need to be renewed in a few years, this was an acquisition.

Kanada Kev Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 For what was negotiated, there would have been backlash from the public for spending $3million on a "song"! The CBC was going to lose either way. Shit, people complain that CBC even covers sports! Most complaints come in when friggin' Coronation Street gets preempted. I hate to see the song go, but at least it will still be used in hockey broadcasts somewhere, and it will take a long time before people will separate the song from CBC in their heads.

Jaimoe Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I actually wrote a report about the MC5 show that no one read. Evan Dando was one of the co-lead singers and had a breakdown on stage whilst fighting with the band and the audience. It was at a past NXNE headling show.
