CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada is leaving some Flames fans feeling burned after the release of its broadcast schedule for the upcoming hockey season. This season, the broadcast company will only show 12 of the Calgary Flames’ 82 games. This is the lowest number of games of any Canadian team. “I think that all Canadian teams should have an equal and fair number of games on television,” said Flames fan Leslie Scott. Scott spends the hockey season in Victoria as a university student, and said that HNIC was her only way to watch Flames games. Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary will have a total of 42 games broadcast by HNIC, whereas Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Win-
nipeg have 96 broadcasted games in the schedule. “Occasionally, you do hear people say that the CBC is always catering to the East’s games,” said Kevin Warner, manager of the Unicorn pub. According to the CBC, scheduling is to blame. “CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada is broadcasting all games involving Canadian teams on Saturday nights during the regular season,” CBC told Metro in a statement. “This year the Flames and Oilers are playing more non-Saturday dates.” Rogers Sportsnet West and TSN do carry the bulk of the NHL club’s weekday games, but don’t broadcast the games on weekends. The Edmonton Oilers also have a low number of games being broadcast this year: 13.
Reader tweets Metro asked readers how they feel about having only 12 games televised on the national broadcaster while other markets will have as many as 28. @fluffylambs I don't think the avg fan could care less as long as the games are televised by someone. Don’t like the 8pm start anyway. @NealSorochan That’s what happens when you are boring to watch. @LyleHatton I’m not too pleased or surprised that the eastern teams get 2x the #HNIC exposure. @JohannesLanger Depends on how many games the Oilers get.
