Ottawa Now - Hockey Night In Canada, a timeless Saturday staple, no longer airing on Channel 8 after 75 years
June 16, 2026
When the new NHL season begins in October, Hockey Night In Canada will live on. However, the legendary Saturday night program has officially played its final shift on Channel 8. In a joint statement between Rogers Sportsnet and the CBC, Canada’s public broadcaster will no longer carry NHL games on Saturday nights, ending a tradition that has stood for 75 years. Back in 2013, a sub-licensing agreement between the two sides extended the timeless programming staple by another 12 years, but that Saturday gathering was not renewed ahead of a brand-new broadcasting agreement between Rogers and the league. Kristy Cameron examines the bigger picture with Bill Brioux, a TV critic and podcaster, on Ottawa Now.
