Leafs regional broadcasts

[Leafs99]

Does anyone know yet who will be broadcasting the remaining Leafs games that are not taken up by CBC or TSN national?  It doesn't look like the Schedule on NHL.com has been updated yet with that info.

I found this link for Sportsnet's games http://www.channelcanada.com/canadian-channels/specialty-channels/sportsnet/sportsnet-announces-toronto-maple-leafs-television-and-radio-broadcast-schedules but for instance the Thursday January 24st game vs. NYI isn't listed on there, and isn't a TSN game.

Do you think more games will go to LeafsTV or some other Bell/Rogers owned channel?

My understanding is they're still trying to work out broadcasting for between 4 and 10 games. I think LeafsTV was scheduled to broadcast 7 games from this point on with the original September schedule. But those games and others they may have had rights for to complete a 48 schedule may move to TSN/Sportnet or others.

Somewhere in the articles on the sale of MLSE was a statement to the effect that at some point between now and 2014, when Canadian NHL broadcasting contracts come up for renewal, LeafsTV is slated for euthanasia.

I expect we'll have some answers on the 4-10 games outstanding soon.

Thanks!  I remember hearing something similar about LeafsTV which is why I was wondering if they were still expected to be showing some live games this year.

Looks like the TV Networks have been added at nhl.com/schedules

LeafsTV does indeed appear to have 10 games

Interesting. When Rogers/Bell bought the team it was widely speculated that leafstv would have no games this year. I guess no one would pay for the channel if they didn't show some live games.

Something tells me that given their other platforms, games on Leafs TV are something that will be phased out eventually but probably can't be done right away.
