I watch the CTV news channel in the morning (because Marcia is dreamy) and they've just piggy backed on the TSN for a quick highlights package.
At the end of the day what's going to happen is that local sports is going to come from local bloggers who are specific to that team or that league. You'll get these out of work sports reporters setting up their own blogs or podcasts and retaining their credentials while they try to generate click bait, and if the story is big enough they'll get exposure by getting a call from a TSN or Sportsnet to cover that story for them for a few hundred bucks.
At some point they'll be a ton of unemployed reporters out there and not enough stories to blog about and the government will have to have a humanitarian thinning of the heard. We'll be able to buy hunting licenses with a bag limit.
Some "reporters" not used to having to haul their own equipment or write their own copy will die while filing a pun filled report about the Alberta Golden Bears losing and how that loss was unbearable. Others will sadly give up after covering their 1000th public interest story on a spunky young hockey player with t speech impediment.
The land will be littered with the corpses of former well know great reporters.
And then CNN will send a crew to cover the news of Sally Struther's getting involved in this humanitarian crisis of too many blogging independent reporters and not enough stories and for pennies a day they can help.
