Meh, $500 bucks a play? Overpriced. Give the next generation a shot at making a new theme.

TG, canuckns.. I'll hold him down, you can slap that beatin' on him..




email sent to ombudsman, i would still prefer someone inside the CBC

Im working on that one.... ....hope i can weasel it out of someone...

I don't think it's a cost issue. In the whole scheme of things, $500 a shot isn't all that much. How many HNICs are there a year 40 - 45 in the regular season? Even ifthey have another 60 in the playoffs, that's only about $50,000 +. Something tells me that one 30 second ad on HNIC pays at least that much (especially in the playoffs).

Still, it'll be sad to see it go. Wonder what the replacement will sound like...

I'm betting we've been hearing it for a while now already.

Saturday!!!! Saturday!!!! Saturday Night's Alright!!!

Ring a bell?

But I guess that won't quite work for playoff time.

I am not a big hockey fan myself, but I love that theme song.
Whenever I hear it, it brings memories of everyone clustered around the tv, all hyped up getting ready to watch the game. It totally captures the excitement.
It is an Iconic themesong, and it is stupid to get rid of it.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night! S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!

Hehehe...

Some of my best times were Saturday 8pm in Hudson, QC. Got a case of Molson Ex at my feet and 10 - 12 friends getting ready for HNIC.

Me work hard five days a week
Sweeping garbage from the streets
Come home not want book to read
Not nuff pictures for me see

Sit right down in favourite chair
Wearing only underwear
Favourite night is Saturday night
'Cause me can watch Hockey fights!

Me like hockey!

Yea that sounds better, damn, I never could sing with my fingers very good.

This is an outrage. That theme is second to our anthem as far as I'm concerned.

CBC shouldn't be spending our hard earned cash in the first place.

Wow--I didn't see that coming at all. Good snag by CTV. I wonder if they're paying $500 a shot.

[Arctic_Menace]

CTV probably doesn't care how much it costs. They probably realized that Canadians would come running to them and watch them and trust them if they landed the Hockey Theme. It's simply a strategic move by CTV to increase support and build their audience numbers. The additional money that will come flowing in from landing the Hockey Theme probably offsets/will offset the cost of playing it.
