😴😴😴

Also, TNT has television rights in the U.S., not ABC.

Apparently all games are being simulcast on TruTV and some on TBS as well. TNT and ABC alternate years as the Finals network under terms of the new NHL TV contracts that were signed upon leaving NBC a couple of years back.

It will be interesting to compare South Florida TV ratings for the Heat in the NBA Finals versus the Panthers in the Stanley Cup finals.

At least for the first few games of each series, I predict the Heat will draw much stronger numbers.

I've heard some say the Heat are the #1 sports team in that market ahead of even the Dolphins, so yeah the NBA ratings should be much higher there.

Wow I thought the Dolphins were the number 1 team in Miami then the Heat at number 2.

I heard that in the markets where the two Cup teams are playing, the NHL was going to try to find an OTA station to simulcast during the years TNT has them. Not sure if that's still the case, though.
