Theme Song
In June 2008, TSN's parent, CTV Inc., acquired the rights to "The Hockey Theme" after the CBC failed to renew its rights to the theme song. A re-orchestrated version of the tune, which has been the theme song of Hockey Night in Canada for forty years, will be used for hockey broadcasts on TSN and RDS beginning in the fall of 2008.
TSN announced on the September 24, 2008 edition of SportsCentre the debut date for the song. It began on October 14, when the Colorado Avalanche visited the Calgary Flames.
