TSN streaming

Why is TSN streaming hockey games?

i used it to watch the oilers/red wings game last night (nice change from mainly having only the leafs on tv, because of the stupid blackout rules)

what surprises me is that it was not locked down to bell subscribers only to get people to sign up for bell tv/internet

To make it a better world!

Why so you even ask this question?

TSN has national rights to games, so I supposed they can freely broadcast them in Canada however they want.

Sportsnet, on the other hand, only has regional rights to games, and it's impossible to enforce blackout restrictions on the Internet.

CRTC recently came down hard on this practice, which is probably why we're seeing a change of heart from the media con-glob-erates.

I've only seen HNIC on Saturdays.

Maybe because HNIC is on Saturdays 97% of the time?
