Why is so much hanging on sports programming?
Will over-the-top video ever be in a position to deliver a competitive alternative to more traditional broadcasters?
Will upgrades to IP networks match the quality sought by viewers who are investing in higher definition home theatres? Have prices for programming rights peaked or are more multi-billion dollar deals ahead?
If these are questions that interest you, then you should be attending The 2014 Canadian Telecom Summit.
Phil King, President – CTV, Sports, and Entertainment Programming, will be speaking at lunch on the 3rd day, June 18, of The 2014 Canadian Telecom Summit. He will be interviewed by Michael Landsberg, host of TSN’s “Off The Record”.
A number of speakers will be addressing the future of TV; the conference opens on Monday June 16 with an address by Guy Laurence, President & CEO of Rogers and closes Wednesday June 18 with Pierre Dion, the new President & CEO of Quebecor. Jay Mehr, COO at Shaw Communications will be speaking on Tuesday afternoon, June 17.

and what about a market like Quebec, where there are so few real sports draws?
