So I don't have to buy Centre Ice next season? I just have to be subscribed to Sportsnet West through Telus?
Any help would be great. Thanks ya'll. |
Regionalization in this context refers to CBC splitting it's national broadcast signal on Saturday nights when multiple Canadian teams are playing. You know, that kind of thing where Quebec gets Montreal, Ontario East gets Leafs, Manitoba west gets Jets because all three games are on at once? That goes away. Under this new deal, Habs are on one channel. Leafs are on another. Jets are on another. All games are available nationwide. You as the viewer choose which game you watch.
Regional TV deals are still in place. People living out of market for regional TV deals do not get to see the regional games without Centre Ice, or the reported/rumored Rogers pay product which will show Rogers out of market games for Canadian teams only.
