Ainsi, le principal détenteur des droits de la LNH (Sportsnet) sera désormais propriétaire (presque) de l’intégralité d’une des équipes qu’il couvre. C’est une chose lorsque TSN et SN possèdent tous deux une part. Cela doit avoir un impact sur le prochain contrat de droits, n’est-ce pas ?

Wouldn’t that be a conflict of interest for negociating TV rights in Canada?
Edit: Thanks for the answers guys
I guess to add to the Blue Jays which they already owned. If they want trophies from their purchases, they may need to keep buying tho…
The other 31 NHL teams will insist that the national rights package goes to the highest bidder. As they each get a cut of the rights fees. Sure, if its a tie, then Rogers will win out.
The NHLPA will insist that if rogers sells the local rights package to themselves, they do it for fair market value so the HHR is on the salary cap.
You also have the other 25% owners who will want fair market value for local tv rights.
We have to remember that Comcast is involved in Flyers ownership too and that didnt effect the last espn/tnt deal.
Great now they can have Roger Stadium, next to Roger Coliseum and the Rogers tower when they buy out CN.
