No, not at all. Especially not when they overpaid for the package by bidding against themselves. Sportsnet is going to nickel and dime every chance they get to maximize profit on this deal. They paid for rights, one would think (particularly Rogers shareholders), to make money.

Again if you complain and still watch, you are still watching. They charge advertisers based on the projected ratings. To Sportsnet, the "customer satisfaction" is whether or not you watch. If people stopped watching, then you'd have their full attention. But most people thought Sportsnet was second rate before this deal. That they still appear to be second rate isn't going to hurt them that much. But they have the only real thing they need, the actual content itself. If you wanna watch live hockey, boycotting Sportsnet pretty much means you aren't watching hockey.
