The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just to clarify, estimates have the deal at $200 million per year for the deal, not $200M for the entire length. The NHL previously pulled in about $80M/year for the Versus deal, plus whatever ad revenues it could scrape out of the NBC arrangement. So it's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of doubling TV revenue.NBC has their digital over-the-air subchannel, Universal Sports, which specializes in Olympic sports during the 3 years and 50 weeks people aren't particularly interested in them, so perhaps they could be the go-to for Winnipeg-Florida on a Wednesday.Right. Thats what I meant it just didnt come out that way. This is major for the NHL, they actually had a BIDDING WAR for their TV rights. 200M per year is huge for the league. Hmmm, think the salary cap will go up?Boy the NHL signs a $2 billion deal with NBC and VS? Thats amazing!!Considering the NHL has never been a TV driven league in the U.S (TV ratings have always been weak for the NHL in the U.S going as far back as the 1970s), and considering they gave the TV rights to NBC for free after the lockout and had to sign a deal with OLN (the Outdoor Life Network) after being lowballed by ESPN (who ironically was in the bidding war to get the rights back) this is pretty amazing for them to get a deal like this done. The NHL has come along way these past 5 years. The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow.Well that's gotta be a relief, maybe this won't be such a bad thing and I also saw that NBC will have a Friday after Thanksgiving game.

CS85 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Pour it on, get in Luongo's head.

CS85 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Nice big fat win tonight but gotta win game 5 to make it a series. Otherwise this game may only be remembered as a glitch in the matrix.

oddball Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I love watching ignorant writers eat their words. Mark Purdy of the Mercury News wrote this lame piece on Staples Center and it being quite. http://www.mercurynews.com/mark-purdy/ci_17877536?&nclick_check=1 So if this is what a Kenny G concert sounds like, it's a friggin' rocking concert and better than any Metallica concert. It also sounds a lot like Sharks choking and sirens as police look for Joe Thorton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
