I doubt that TSN or CBC would stand in the way of anyone going to Rogers if they wanted to move. It would probably be like when ABC released Al Michaels from his contract to go to NBC and call Sunday Night Football. All Disney asked for in compensation was the rights to the old Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons that Walt Disney made under contract to Universal before he started his own company.

My guess is that Rogers will bring in Gord Miller and Jim Hughson as their A1/A2 PBP guys, and Cuthbert will stay at TSN to call the CFL and World Juniors, and whatever other big properties TSN can grab.
