You'll stick with SNet once the game ends...and there's simply no way TSN can give an alternate panel to switch to after each game on SNet.
So we may start by watching the TSN boys at 3 for Sportscentre, and maybe at 4 for That's Hockey (I'm Pacific time, obviously)...but once viewers find a game, they likely won't switch back to TSN afterwards AS LONG AS the sportsnet panel is decent.
And as that continues to happen, SNet will make inroads.
It'll take a while. Like probably 4,5 years of the deal..but SNet should get there.
The bigger issue is all the talk about games on every channel. I can't speak for everyone and their dog, but I get SNet Pacific, SNET one, and the Score. I don't have West, Ontario, or East. So it's great to say you'll have TONS of games eeach night. How many can the viewer with the average package see?
Like a rebuilding hockey team, it may take SNET some time, but eventually they are going to challenge for being the Gold Standard in Sports Journalism in Canada, and they are going to become our default channel for hockey. I like the panel on TSN, but they won't be enough to stop people from increasingly watching SNET.
