NO MORE HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA THEME!!!
As of the last game of the 2008 Stanley Cup Final, the CBC ended its current license agreement with the 'owners' of the Hockey Night in Canada theme, with no plans to renew it, due to cost issues. I was dumbfounded!!! So, I whipped this email off to the CBC (via their comments form) today.
Today I read with some outrage, that the CBC was not renewing its agreement with the 'owner' of the Hockey Night in Canada theme.
I am sure that the CBC is, or will be, sifting through thousands of letters/emails expressing the same outrage and shock as my own. That theme is as Canadian as hockey itself! Ask a Canadian what would instantly reminds them of Canada, and I can almost guarantee that the Hockey Night in Canada theme is in their top five. Most Canadian can identify it in five notes or less.
The CBC is supposed to be a guardian of those things which make us uniquely Canadian. Don't let yet another piece of our cultural heritage fall by the wayside in the interests in profit margins.
I'm sure the CBC will ignore it...
TTFN,

I hadn't heard about this one. Exactly how much does it cost to license the music? Put another way, how big a slice of taxpayer money is the license holder demanding for the CBC to use this slice of Canadiana?
I'm sorry -- it was me.
I was holding out for a case of smoked salmon, and a footrub from Peter Mansbridge.
I'll just go, now.
Peter Mansbridge, really?!?
I'm all about Llyod Robertson, myself...
With Lloyd I'd have to bring a lint roller and pat myself down for incriminating silver-blond hair afterwards.
Not that I've put a great deal of thought into it. Or anything.
Ok, NOW I'll go.
