In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I stop the presses for an announcement by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) that "Hockey Night In Canada" will no longer be bringing Saturday night hockey to television sets in Canada for the first time in almost 100 years (if you count the early years on radio). Today's episode will take a look at those years of HNIC from four perspectives, that of the CBC's official on air announcement, a sports talk show in the U.S., a reflection of one John Shannon who for many years was involved in the production of HNIC and lastly the accounting by a sport journalist on the economics of the CBC's decision. You may wish to use the chapter markers above these show notes to go to specific locations in the episode based upon the descriptions of the four points of view.
