Fantastic article Jack and yep thanks to Sports Net RDS is the number one Habs channel for me to watch. Saturdays I watch on TVA as long as I have an option I never watch on Sports Net 🤮

Perfect Jack.

jacktodd.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you.

I don’t speak French v well at all. Seems like an opportunity here.

Who signs a 12 year TV deal?

12 years...

That's a really long time.

jacktodd.bsky.social•80 days ago

Especially in a world where one fool can tank the economy in two days.

sidewalkbobyyc.bsky.social•80 days ago

Ughh...

This means more gambling promos, doesn't it.

jacktodd.bsky.social•80 days ago

Yup.

This incessant gambling crap is sucking what little life there is during an NHL broadcast. I know they're buying adds, but I never saw Dave Hodge and Howie Meeker discussing the merits of a 2-4 of 50 over Brador.

Fantastic read, Jack.

jacktodd.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you Joann.

Thank goodness for RDS and TVA.

jacktodd.bsky.social•80 days ago

Amen. From what I understand, TVA might be gone from the package when this contract kicks in. That would mean RDS does all the games in French, with the marvellous Pierre Houde.

frandroid.bsky.social•80 days ago

OMG that would be amazing.

richouellette.bsky.social•80 days ago

No problem with that. Love Pierre Houde with Marc Denis on color.

Awful news

I wonder if Sportsnet got your message...They actually used some airtime to talk about the Habs.. It's too bad they didn't pay attention or research what happened in the game. Kevin B saying Montreal may have got as many shots on net as the Flyers on the 4min pp.... Flyers did not register a shot!

And Fuck Garry Galley!!
