With the new broadcasts of Amazon Prime Video and other online platforms, Gary Bettman mentioned that traditional television no longer has much of an impact today.
General channels like TVA or Fox in the United States still have a reason to exist, but at the level of specialized channels, it becomes much more difficult.
Quebecor (TVA Sports) holds the French-language broadcast rights to the NHL until 2026, and they have decided to make a major change that is timely to close the commissioner's flap.
«For the first time since the agreement with the National Hockey League (NHL), the TVA network will broadcast a Montreal Canadiens game live on Saturday, November 9.
The match between the Habs and the Toronto Maple Leafs, its big rivals, will be presented simultaneously on TVA and TVA Sports, as well as on all of the group's digital platforms. " - TVA Sports
This means that it will not only be TVA Sports which will present the match on November 9, but TVA too. This is a great first since the signing of the new agreement.
Personally, I think it's an excellent idea. The more traffic there is for the meeting, the more popularity it will have.
Not only is it good for the Quebecor Group, it is good for hockey and for the possible return of the Nordiques. We know that Pierre-Karl Péladeau dreams of buying an NHL team in Quebec city.
This decision to do it on a Saturday between the Canadiens and the Maple Leafs is even smarter, as the popularity of the game will be increased.
