Globe says Amazon brings Big Tech touch to NHL shows

2024-09-24 06:34 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that the NHL is borrowing from the playbooks of Formula One and America's NFL, rolling out a documentary series and a weekly live highlights show as professional hockey moves to a streaming-only service in Canada for the first time next month. The Globe's Simon Houpt writes that Prime Video Canada unveiled its first season of NHL programming on Monday afternoon, which will include a weekly Monday night national game based in the home team's arena instead of a central TV studio and will feature Hall of Famer Mark Messier among its rotating cast of analysts. Viewers who join games in progress will be offered the opportunity to catch up with a two-minute package of highlight clips put together by machine-learning technology that the Amazon-owned streamer is calling Rapid Recap. Amazon bought the rights to the Monday games for the next two seasons from Rogers Communications, which is entering the 11th year of a 12-year broadcast deal with the NHL. Rogers's Sportsnet service will continue to carry national games on Wednesdays, as well as its Hockey Night in Canada doubleheader broadcast on Saturdays, which is seen on CBC, Sportsnet and other Rogers-owned channels.
