No wonder streaming is becoming the way to go.

And apparently, they'll show the Flames game after the Habs on SNW

The Habs-Blackhawks game is being shown on the Pacific and Ontario channels too. The Sunday Hometown hockey is usually shown natioanlly on all four Sportsnet regional channels unless there is baseball playoffs or other major events. In that case, Sportsnet One carries the hockey game. Sometimes SN1 or SN360 will also show the game in addition to the regular channels because of a sport on the regular channels that may run over its alloted time or there is nothing else on.

There are eleven Flames game on SN360 this season. It does allow those games to be nationally televised across Canada especially on the four Sundays and four Wednesdays where there is a national game on Sportsnet and the Flames game starts before the other game will end. This avoids missing out on the start of the Flames game and joining it in progress unlike what happened in the past prior to Rogers obtaining the national contract.

The cable and satellite companies all have many different tiers and packages to get SN360 such as in a sports bundle. In some cases, SN360 can be purchased as a single channel. I get it that way with Shaw Cable.
