NBC (CMCSA) executives hope that the National Hockey League and its players union reach a new labor agreement and avoid a lockout that could leave the network quickly looking for a replacement for a key source of sports programming, reports Reuters. The network signed a new $2B, 10-year contract with the league last year. Labor talks between the NHL and the union representing its players broke down last week over economic issues such as revenue sharing. The league's owners have said they would lock out players if a deal is not reached by a September 15 deadline. Reference Link | |
