NHL Bets On In-House Production As Regional Sports Networks Collapse

The NHL is taking over local game production in-house for four teams following the collapse of Regional Sports Networks (RSNs), marking a significant shift in how hockey games are broadcast at the local level. This move represents a broader transformation in sports media as traditional RSN distribution models have broken down across North America. The league's decision signals that major sports organizations may increasingly bypass third-party broadcasters to control their own content production and distribution.
