CBC eyes playoff cutback to protect The National
CBC president Robert Rabinovitch says playoffs may move to partner networks or be trimmed to protect the 10 p.m. news. Options include a minority stake in CTV Sportsnet and shifting some games off the main CBC schedule. Olympic and amateur sports would receive more coverage. Drake Berehowsky of the Nashville Predators received a one game suspension for a match penalty against the Mighty Ducks and forfeited 4,144.38 dollars to the Players Emergency Assistance Fund.
