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?
That is one of many issues the NHL has with NBC
The Sharks are on second-tier NBC Sports California which also has A's and Kings. It is very similar on how the 2 RSN's in Florida operate,
In Boston, there are strong rumors Jacobs wants to leave NESN and join NBC Sports Boston in an equity deal with the Celtics. The Bruins are livid that the Red Sox will be doing all home games in 4K starting April 1st but not the Bruins.

Anyone who has seen Bruins games on NESN the past 3 seasons has noticed the graphics are by far the worst in the NHL. The Red Sox flat-out don't care.
