The CBC on Losing 'Hockey Night in Canada'

The Agenda with Steve Paikin

View Transcript

David Shoalts recently spoke to Steve Paikin about his book, "Hockey Fight in Canada: The Big Media Faceoff over the NHL," which details the story of how the CBC lost hockey broadcast rights to Rogers. The CBC took some issue with Shoalts' version of events. So, in the interests of equal time, The Agenda welcomes Chuck Thompson, head of public affairs for CBC English Services, to have his say.
