Mac the Knife Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 By comparison, Major League Soccer's teams garner approximately $ 1.28 million each from its U.S. television deals. So by that yardstick, the NHL's popularity is less than 1/5th that of MLS. MLS' rights fees will go up between now and 2020. The NHL's won't. Note what I say now - this is a BAD deal for the National Hockey League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 $ 200,000,000 per year divided by 30 clubs = $ 6,666,666 per club, per year, pre-tax.By comparison, Major League Soccer's teams garner approximately $ 1.28 million each from its U.S. television deals. So by that yardstick, the NHL's popularity is less than 1/5th that of MLS.So, wait, if the NHL's new TV deal earned each team only $200 thousand per year instead, that would mean hockey would then be six times as popular as soccer? I think that tornado took your math and flipped it upside-down along with your roof, Dorothy.

Meaning NBC will be in the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Is NBC Sports just to easy?I don't know what they will name it. They haven't announced the name yet is all I'm saying. I'm still guessing some combination of Comcast Sportsnet and NBC sports, as it seems they want to tie the regional brands with the national.

Saintsfan Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 This may not be the worst deal, financially, for Hockey. Two things seemvery smart. One is that playoff games are guaranteed on national TV, but also the length of the deal. Industry experts seem to believe the price of TV sports rights is at something like it's peak. By getting a long term deal, the NHL has put itself in a decent position to deal with whatever the multi media, multi format world throws at sports. Also it means NBC might actually spend some money developing the coverage of hockey, which generally, IMO is a bit behind the times. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfan Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'll look up something over the weekend if I get a chance. Basically I think the argument is that as other broadcast rights become more valuable, so tv rights become less so. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan0518 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That means another 10 years with no Gary Thorne, Bill Clement, or NHL 2Night. Why can't NBC and ESPN bid together or just give NBC, VS, and ESPN separate rights. Like NBC VS broadcast Eastern Conference games including playoffs, the Winter Classic, and Games 1,3,5,7 of the Stanley Cup. ESPN Gets the Western conference games including playoffs, the All-Star game, and Games 2,4,6 of the Stanley Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he is not the best at pronouncing names but this video makes you want him to come back to hockey whether it be NBC or ESPN. Barry Melrose is a pretty bad analyst but is the only middle aged man that can pull of a mullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
