Rogers has released the national broadcast schedule, although the channel assignments aren't finalized. Will anyone be shocked when the truly national broadcast game is Toronto every week? One look at the Wednesday night game schedule shows two months where the Ottawa game is vs Toronto, and another month is vs Montreal.
I was listening to TSN Radio - Montreal earlier this week and Elliotte Friedman was on talk with them. They asked where he was going to land and his response was "I didn't want to talk about this during the playoffs, but my hand got forced so I had to get something settled while the playoffs were still going on. It hasn't been announced yet, but probably will be in the near future. I'll leave it to them to make the announcement."
Rogers national/regional (some teams) or TSN regional (some teams)? I'm guessing the former.
Rogers today announced the four big voices who will guide hockey fans through all of the upcoming memorable on-ice moments, beginning with the 2014/15 NHL season. Jim Hughson , Dave Randorf , Paul Romanuk and Bob Cole will call play-by-play for NHL national games across all Rogers properties, as well as Hockey Night in Canada , this coming fall. Jim Hughson will be the lead PxP announcer.
Still to come: colour analysts for national broadcasts, TSN regional broadcast team(s), local radio team members
My thoughts: oh joy, it's Bob Cole. Still.
