CTV buys HNiC's theme song (purchased outright)

[Grim 5]

coming from a canadian DOWN WITH CBC!!!

waste of taxpayer cash they are willing to waste money on other trash but they are not willing to pay the owner of the song 500 bucks a play

nope. not even close. the composer is 80 years old and living in UK... looking to cash in significantly. CanWest Global papers are speculating CTV paid upwards $2.5M - $3.5CDN for the full rights. collosal waste of money IMHO... "Good Old Hockey Game" by Stompin Tom Connors would do just fine in my book. in any case, we wouldnt want taxpayer run CBC wasting dough on a jingle would we?
