NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Although, as long as they don’t get Brian Williams to replace him, I don’t think I care as much as the above may indicate. I can’t stand Brian Williams (as a host—I don’t know him from Adam, personally).
i just can’t beieve that Don Cherry makes $700,000 a year and that Peter Mansbridge gets $500,000 annually… these salaries are out of countrol!

They’re of course way less then their american counterparts. Agreed that the viewership is less here, but thats what you have to compete with (Mansbridge has turned down offers to the states on a number of occasions)

Ron MacLean is one of my major motivations for watching hockey at all. I am so saddened by this. I know it seems like a tiny little detail in the scheme of things, but it really feels like a big blow to Canadian hockey culture. He’s one of the few sports broadcasters who seems to me to represent a really refined and cultured approach to the game. *sigh*

I think the salaries are fine. If you’re paying Cherry 700K then MacLean should get 1.2M, by my calculation based on smarts, effort, celebrity and overall impact. The sponsors can pick up the bill.
If Brian Williams gets within 100 yards of HNIC I’ll fucking freak!
I think I might end up taking the approach my dad does – watch with the sound off and the radio on…

Did anybody see the archival footage of Don Cherry and Brian Willams arguing (on the CBC retrospective thing) last night?
