TSN will run that same highlight show until noon EST the next day, but they still choose to cut away to it.

It's about having the most viewers stay on to watch their shows. Trust me they have done extensive research on what viewers tune into to watch and turn off to watch. CBC biggest ratings during the week is hockey night in Canada. Of course they are going to ride it out to the end. Tsn will lose more viewers showing the tribute. More viewers would probably turn to sportsnet to watch sports highlights.
Just because they show highlights until noon the next day does not mean that viewers will tune in to watch it at other times. Just like the news there are reasons why they show certain shows at certain times.
