Yuk.
Whatever they pick, it won't last 10 years let alone 40.

CTV Inc. has acquired the rights to The Hockey Theme
CTV Inc. has acquired the rights to The Hockey Theme in perpetuity, the network announced Monday.
The agreement was reached with Copyright Music & Visuals, which was unable to renew a deal with CBC Sports.
CBC Sports executive director Scott Moore said he was disappointed but not surprised the song was shopped elsewhere.
No shit Sherlock, considering you did all you could to kill the song. CBC really fucked up big time on this one. It will loom large in any history written about them.
Make sure you get his name right in it, future historians. That's Scott Moore folks, the Benedict Arnold of Canada.
And dead the song is, it will disappear within 2 years.
I hope Dolores made a good deal though...
An observer in Montreal says: "There's no way the CBC could win politically in this situation. If they come up with the reputed 2.5-3 million dollar fee requested the first reaction is going to be that it's a waste of taxpayer money. If they've got that kind of cash to pop for a 30-second sound clip, there's obviously place to make more budget cuts. If they don't they're abdicating their role as guardian of Canadian culture.

Not dead yet: CBC continuing negotiations for HNIC theme
The fate of the Hockey Night in Canada theme hasn't been settled quite yet. The CBC announced on Monday morning that it has invited sports lawyer Gord Kirke to act as an intermediary in a last-ditch attempt to keep the iconic song as part of their hockey broadcast.
"We feel this song is worth one last attempt to save," said Scott Moore, executive director of CBC Sports, in a press release. "Canadians are passionate about its association with Hockey Night in Canada."

Deal to keep Hockey Night theme song falls through
CBC has just perpetrated a crime of epic proportions today against the culture of Canada, something they themselves are supposed to protect.
Shame on the CBC and the heartless bastards there that let this happen. Canada turns a cold eye towards you.
That a corporation thinks it can take it upon itself to rip out a piece of our culture and history over the dollar sign earns my undying contempt.
This, above all, is what the Harper era will be remembered for.
Negotiations to keep the Hockey Night in Canada theme song have collapsed, meaning the program is now in search of another anthem, CBC News has learned.
Copyright Music & Visuals, the Toronto agency representing the song's composer, owner and administrator Dolores Claman said on Friday that the deal had fallen through.

Stop the CBC
Ok, this is war. The CBC seems to be taking it on itself to destroy one of this countries institutions.
Vandals.
One of this country's most familiar tunes may have been heard on CBC-TV for the last time Wednesday night when the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins and won the 2008 Stanley Cup.
The Toronto agency representing the composer of the theme tune for Hockey Night in Canada says the CBC has declined to enter into a new licensing agreement for the song for next NHL season.
A news release posted on the website of Copyright Music & Visuals quotes company president John Ciccone as saying the CBC's licence agreement for the hockey theme song ended with the Stanley Cup final.
The CBC "has advised the composer, owner and administrator of the musical composition that it is not prepared to enter into a new licence agreement with respect to the use of the theme," the release says.
The CBC had no immediate comment Thursday.
Do this and earn the eternal hatred of all Canadian fans, that's my comment.
