Yet Another Reason Why Hockey Isn’t Like Other Major Sports
At least economically speaking - Baseball’s $650M satellite radio deal (which is for 11 years)
The deal is for XM radio to carry MLB games. Rival Sirius (who just signed Howard Stern) has the NFL deal.
Sirius is the carrier of NHL games. From Oct, 2003: Sirius Scores With NHL Deal - NHL games are free with subscription (no premium fee). Sirius paid an “undisclosed sum” for the games, but I’m willing to bet the number was far from the $650M/11-years that XM paid for the MLB (very far).
