You will need one more subscription to be able to listen to the Montreal Canadiens?
The future of how we watch hockey and other sports is on the verge of a major shift, and we're already beginning to see some early signs of this change.
According to recent predictions by Charles-Alexis Brisebois, the broadcasting landscape for Montreal Canadiens games could look very different in the coming years.
Brisebois suggests that fans may need to subscribe to additional services to catch all 82 regular-season Canadiens games, beyond the current broadcasters, Sportsnet and TSN, which cover most of the team's games right now. This comes in light of the announcement that Amazon will become a new broadcaster for the NHL in Canada, signaling broader shifts in how sports content is delivered to viewers.
Brisebois notes that the NHL is exploring various options, and while it's too early to predict exactly how things will unfold, there's a chance that platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV, or other streaming services could be involved in the future distribution of hockey games.
His most likely prediction is:
As the ways we consume sports continue to evolve, it seems hockey fans will need to adjust their viewing habits and subscription choices. The big question is whether these changes will make accessing televised games easier or more complicated for viewers.
Are you concerned about these potential changes to how Canadiens games will be broadcast?
