CTV buys the Hockey Night in Canada Theme Song

as the Man of house i was cleaning the floor when i hear that on the CBC show B.C. Almanac. Mark Forsythe was actually talking to a caller when that came in... hilarious.

being on the case i coud have been the first to comment on the story online but i had to fill out a profile and make a username... so i missed the boat having a high profile comment that could lobby for "on Frozen Pond" becoming the new anthem. It is all for naught.. there is a professional organizing a contest. A professional that apparently was on the FACTOR board for years when a record company he was involved with happened to receive generous FACTOR grants.

being a Toronto Maple Leafs fan i had to enjoy the article though and my comment was as follows


"Earlier in the day, CBC Sports said it planned to bring in noted sports and entertainment lawyer Gord Kirke as a last-ditch effort to bring about a mediated resolution."

just beautiful... comedy highlight of the day.

the same CTV that is doing the winter Olympics 2010. That should position them nicely to catch the attention of the consumers without them ever knowing it. They could bring back the old "Molson Golden" commercials... the tag line was "Smooth as Golden", except it could be "Smooth as Coors".

should do a reality show to find the new theme... nobody has ever done that before.

I think some self promoting huckster wrote a song called "On Frozen Pond". It might even be on CBCradio3.
