2011 Friday Night Preview

Friday Nights pays tribute to the coolest game on ice, and the short lived CTV broadcasts in the mid 80's. The default NHL games will be the 7:00pm EST, 6:00pm Abaza broadcast, with preference given to the Southeast teams and New Jersey and the Islanders. Second round of preference would be teams like Nashville, Chicago, Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. However, this year with Winnipeg competing in the NHL's southeast division they will be first priority.

Chuck also returns for a final abbreviated season from NBC. The placement will be on Friday nights, but because of the NHL games the airing time will vary, but will most often be either at 9:00pm or 9:30pm.

Two other possible pick-ups still being evaluated for quality as well as availability are Strike Back (Cinemax) and Friday Night Football (MTV2).
