The CBC has the sole rights to the Olympics, leaving the other channels on the outside looking in. Except when it comes to Canada’s “national sport,” hockey.
You’ll be able to watch those events – both men’s and women’s – simulcast on Sportsnet and TSN. And just to make things even more interesting, both the cable sportscasters will be bringing some of their own folks in to call the action.
“…all three broadcasters will be using the Games to advance their own individual strategic goals. The NHL is a pillar of Sportsnet’s and TSN’s programming, which the channels’ participation in Olympics coverage allows them to reaffirm, no matter which national team wins.
And both of the sports channels will be producing their own morning and midday studio shows using talent from their deep bench.”
CBC, TSN, and Sportsnet put their elbows down to bring Canadians a unified Winter Games

CBC, TSN and Sportsnet together do a super job with both the summer and winter Olympics. Not as flashy as some other countries, but excellent comprehensive coverage beginning to end and top notch commentary. The winter games this year hopefully will be a nice break from the news, and one person in particular who always needs to be front and centre every day.

Hasn't this been the case already for 16 years?
