CTV made the right call. TSN was always the stronger brand, and even though it lost the national NHL contract back then, it chugged along just fine with several regional deals - iirc, both Toronto and Montreal. When it wrestled back the national hockey deal, the battle was over. TSN is the king, Sportsnet second. That hasn't come close to changing in 15 years.
That said, Sportsnet has the Flames and baseball. It is actually the channel I watch more often overall. Though Sportscentre > Connected.
