Can we also include regional deals? They vary wildly among teams and are very important to some clubs.
because that varies from team to team... and most are tied to RSN's outside of the National contract

First Fubu and now Pred303. !@#$! you cancer
English contract: Rogers signed in 2013 for 12 yrs (436 Million a yr CAN)
source: NHL, Rogers announce landmark 12-year deal
French contract: RDS signed in 2014 for 12 yrs (120 Million a YR CAN) [Question: RDS pays to Rogers?]
source: TVA to pay Rogers $120-million a year to be NHL's French-language broadcaster.
and the Canadian dollar is down vs the dollar when back in 2013. (loonie was near par with Dollar)
in 2014 the Loonie was still above the dollar.
Are the Canadian deals signed in Loonies or greenbacks?

So between Canada and US deals the NHL is going to get close to 1 billion per year? Or I'm making a really bad calculation

400 million for US par une
? for US par deux
350 million (USD) for Canada English.
French contract paid to Rogers per source.
750 Million (USD)BUT Loonie is rising and there is US par deux

so it's really hard to determine the length of local contracts... because those can change... why this thread was likely created is more toward the national contract... because the local contracts are ignored in a discussion thread.
the premise is no matter which team forum you use or see here... the general consensus is no fan likes having to switch to a national game like an NBC Sports or an ESPN/ABC, or even a Fox Sports contract; over their local RSN's and especially how the RSN's can only do RS/ and the 1st round of the Playoffs, and then the national contract kicks in.

When your explanation of why this thread exists is longer than the original post , you may be over thinking things. I wasn't looking to complicate things or steer the discussion in another direction.
The first US network deal was with CBS and ran 4 seasons from 1956-57 to 1959-60 and the 4 US clubs got $100,000 each in a deal in today's dollars would be worth about $3,500,000 a year.
<i>NHL on CBS</i>
But the 4 US teams refused to give the players a dime. Of course 3 of the US teams Chicago, Detroit, and the Rangers and Boston did what they were told to do.
THE HOCKEY REBELLION
Montreal did play a few times on CBS but Toronto did not.
The NHL returned to CBS for the 1966-67 season.
<i>NHL on CBS</i>
CBS gave the NHL the same production values as the NFL games and televised Game 7 of the SCF in prime time even with Chicago blacked out.
NBC doubled the price CBS was paying and took over in 1972-73
<i>NHL on NBC</i>
NBC dropped the NHL after the 1975 season and it would be 20 years until they were back on a major US broadcast network (Fox) except an occasional game on CBS or NBC.

The thread is titled National TV Contracts. You asked "can we include local?"
You clearly were looking to steer the discussion in another direction

Actually its called "List of hockey tv contracts." The first post asked "Can we have a list of national contracts..." In the 4th post I asked if we could include regional deals. Not sure what your gripe with that is. If it only includes national deals its going to be a pretty short thread.
and my response is :
it's not quantified because it's covered in the team threads as well.... the 4 NY based teams (including NJ) are on or share an RSN IN MSG.... Boston is on an RSN that DN owns 20% of NESN, most, if not all teams have a contract with an RSN, Including Seattle.
even the recent change by Sinclair buying the Fox RSN's to that deal with Bally's becoming the full owner/partner.....
all National contracts will impact the local contracts each team has, whether it's an RSN or not.

It is impossible to get accurate numbers of local TV deals with many clubs.

French contract: RDS signed in 2014 for 12 yrs (120 Million a YR CAN) [Question: RDS pays to Rogers?]
source: TVA to pay Rogers $120-million a year to be NHL's French-language broadcaster.
RDS does not have a national deal with NHL. It is with TVA as the link indicates.

Exactly I've often tried to research Local TV contracts for a lot of teams and you see alot of detail about the bigger teams but once you get past the top teams 10 US sides there seems to be less info on local tv amounts. Since we are on the subject does anyone know if Bettman and the league were able to get the Sharks out of that terrible 14yr deal that paid 7m yr?
Can Leagues Step In And Help Teams With Bad Local Television Contracts?

Where does the recent NENT deal for Baltic noted above replace contracts you've mentioned?
Unclear what ESPN streaming may be doing internationally from announcements.
