Quote:
A second national outlet would give TSN the ability to air two NHL playoff games featuring Canadian-based teams scheduled at the same time.
The CBC seemed to allude to that issue in its intervention against the application. It said the licence amendment would give "inappropriate advantage" to CTV-TSN and inflate the cost of broadcasting rights.

This is great if you think about it. If you include CTV, they would be able to broadcast up to three playoff games at the same time so there would be no more conflicts like there was last season in the first round.
No matter where you lived in the country you wouldn't miss a Flames playoff game even if the Leafs and Canucks were playing at the same time as an example.
