Sportsnet and CBC announced on Tuesday that they Hockey Night in Canada, a mainstay on CBC-TV since 1952, will not be returning next season.
For Canadiens fans excited to watch their team's games, the broadcast picture now looks gloomy, The Gazette's Brendan Kelly writes.
The result will almost certainly be having to pay more next season to watch the Canadiens — and the outlook isn't much rosier for francophone fans.
