CBC to dump the Hockey Theme? Say it isn't so!
One of my non-LJ colleagues informs me that the CBC is expected to drop the theme to "Hockey Night in Canada."
I grew up with that theme! I used to watch the CBC despite having a grainy picture, before we got cable TV in 1984. (One of the advantages of living in a border town like Buffalo is that we could pick up the Toronto radio and TV stations.) The theme's so popular it's been referred to as Canada's second national anthem.
Guess I'd better skate over to hockeytheme.com and get a copy before it goes out of print.

Cheap Bastards
Apparently it costs the CBC $500.00 per game when they use the music, and they can't afford it any more, the cheap bastards.
Yeah, I'm upset. I'm Canadian. I'm a hockey fan. And the guy who wrote this music wrote the most stirring music used by any professional sports league. Idiots.
