NHL settles online antitrust lawsuit (cheaper out of town package will be available)

[Thomas]

Here’s a small bit of good news for sports fans: The price of online hockey games will likely drop next year after the NHL and broadcasters settled a class action case over “blackout” rules intended to protect local TV monopolies. Under a proposed settlement, the league will begin selling single-team packages for $105 a season rather than forcing fans to buy a $159 bundle that includes teams they don’t care about.

still doesn't help locally.  But I guess it's a step in the right direction.

It would be the end of cable tv for me (and I'm sure a lot of others as well) if I could get all NHL games including local games for $159.

Nice!

I buy that packages too so I can watch the ducks up here. Useless to pay for other teams I never watch.
