who employs me

I am a staff writer with CTV.ca News. That operation is part of CTV News, which is of course nestled into CTV Inc. and CTVglobemedia.

I don't speak for my employer on this blog. I don't comment about the internal affairs of my employer.

Any views expressed here are my own.

CTV grabs rights to 'Hockey Night' theme song

CTV announced today it has grabbed the rights to the theme song formerly associated with CBC TV's Hockey Night in Canada.

Good luck to the CBC in its hunt for a new jingle.

I can't tell if this move was really ballsy or really stupid. HNIC is as much of an institution as its theme song and the fans could react negatively. If they do, how will the network react? By killing our second national anthem?
