It seems Sportsnet has tried everything to compete with TSN and failed miserably over the last 8 years. I find their new direction quite interesting with the whole “laid back casual Friday drinking my latte at Starbucks look". I’ll give them credit for trying although their new set does look like something from an entertainment show. However, was anything more ridiculous than their “Trade Deadline Bash today”? Again, full marks for going the other way but I mean, come on, seriously? A man who runs a hockey blog and doesn’t show his face who goes by the name of Eklund is your main insider? Did I seriously see the Hanson brothers and the Deal or No Deal models? Was that actually pizza and Pepsi on the main desk while they did their show? I just admit, I watched a lot more of Sportsnet because of this, mostly because I was amazed with the whole thing. Is this how Sportsnet will get more viewers? TSN will continue to be all business while Sportsnet goes and throws a party on one of the biggest sports days in Canada? It should be interesting to see the ratings of the deadline day compared to last years. What’s your take?
