Ron MacLean's future with Hockey Night In Canada has been revealed
According to the same source who reported Jeff Marek's departure from Sportsnet, more layoffs are expected, including on-air personalities, and there might be a timeline for Ron MacLean's exit.
Jeff Marek's departure from Rogers SN seems to have preceded another round of "changes," cuts, and layoffs for the media company. More layoffs are expected at Sportsnet, especially in radio, but changes to their television broadcasts are also anticipated.
Fans have been critical of Ron MacLean in recent years, but according to YYZSportsMedia, MacLean will likely remain for at least two more years. The 64-year-old MacLean has hosted Hockey Night in Canada for the last 38 years, and some fans are hoping for a change.
Most of the upcoming changes at Sportsnet are not popular as they hold the majority of NHL broadcast rights in Canada for the next two years. Jeff Marek was a beloved figure for his radio show and 32 Thoughts Podcast, but Sportsnet seems to view radio as outdated. Meanwhile, Ron MacLean continues on air despite being seen as outdated by some.
In the coming weeks, we can expect more significant changes in hockey broadcasting. Hopefully, when Sportsnet's deal expires, it will lead to much-needed innovation in hockey broadcasts in Canada.
