NHL – ESPN TV deal
TSN: Frank Seravalli says that ESPN’s new deal with the NHL starts in October and will run for seven years. They will carry four Stanley Cup Finals and around 1,100 games in total.
“No sense if the NHL is making ESPN the primary rights holder but if not, they’re certainly going to get a significant chunk. Everyone wants to know, from a revenue perspective, how much money that is bringing back. We know that this is going to be a landmark deal for television rights in the U.S. as it relates to the NHL.”
