CBC’S HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE OF NHL TRADE DEADLINE
Online Coverage Includes Live Streaming to iPads and iPhones tracking every trade on Feb 28th
CBC’S HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA: Trade Deadline Special provides Canadian hockey fans with comprehensive multi-platform coverage of the February 28th NHL Trade Deadline day.
Coverage airs live on CBCSports.ca, CBC specialty channel bold and HNIC Sirius Radio channels 97 & 127 starting at 9 a.m. ET. Online, coverage includes streaming to iPads and iPhones. Additionally, fans can track trades with the HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA Trade Log, get audience reaction and vote on the trades with Trade Polls, get the inside scoop with reporter blogs, plus analysis, stories, and video, all at cbcsports.ca.
“The trade deadline is one of the pivotal moments of the hockey season,” said CBC’S HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA Executive Producer Trevor Pilling. “The deals that get done can change the course of a season and that’s why we’re using the depth, reach and knowledge of our team to make sure fans across the country know exactly what’s happening with their favourite team.”
On-air coverage will be anchored from three key desks:
Main Trade Desk: Host Jeff Marek and analysts P.J Stock, Bobby Holik and Kevin Weekes provide comprehensive trade analysis and reaction from players, managers and agents via phone and Skype throughout the day.
Player Desk: Hosted by Elliotte Friedman, former NHL players Glenn Healy, Mike Milbury and Kelly Hrudey provide analysis, reaction and updates.
Chevrolet I-Desk: Hosted by Nabil Karim with Scott Morrison and Tim Wharnsby, this team has its finger on the pulse of the nation. Fan reaction, tweets and waiver wires will be the focus.
CBC’S HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA will have reporters covering the movement of each Canadian team along with live news conferences and interviews with NHL General Managers and fan reaction after the deadline has passed.
Like with TSN’s coverage, I believe CBC’s coverage will be available online in the US. I have one more press release on NHL Trade Deadline coverage.
