Not sure if this is entirely on-topic, but I thought it was interesting to note that both RDS and TVA Sports are losing a lot of money.
(If only they made watching hockey actually not a pain in the ass I would subscribe…)

We need RBC to put a permanent watermark on screen to help these poor small businesses make ends meet. /s

Guess we need a lot more betting website ads….

Keep them losing money until they understand.

Ads on the boards, ads on the jerseys, ads in the bottom during plays, ads in the commentary, ads on the helmets and just the overwhelming presence of the betting stuff.
And they want us to pay packages of stupidity so we can watch one channel.

Let TVA sport die already, they made their bed when they denied Bell customers playoff games back then. I removed that channel from my package and now watch it in English on Saturdays and in the Playoffs. They won’t get another penny out of me for a LONG time. The province is filled with anti-bell clients. Now let the wave of anti-videotron clients rise and shine. Bell already has the better product in Quebec. Until Videotron comes out with a modern solution, let them struggle like Bell did when Cable was coming out and DSL was total shit.

I ***want*** to pay to watch the entire Habs season on RDS like I did every year in the past before the Rogers deal. It’s not worth jumping through all the hoops there are right now.

TVA Sports robbed us of Pierre Houde’s call on the Lehkonen OT goal and for that (and many more reasons but especially for that) they deserve all our hate and we should all hope this shit wannabe channel dies the quickest of deaths.

The problem has almost nothing to do with the actual ads and everything with the way they are selling hockey games.
As someone not in the “habs region” it is a FUCKING NIGHTMARE to try and find a combination of packages that will get you all of the games.
The whole system is losing viewers and therefore leverage from advertisers because its so fragmented. Im not spending 100+ dollars a month just to watch habs games because you have split the games into multiple providers and blacked out half them.
