Yah!  Actually, why don't we get the CBC to agree to let us use
"Hockey Night in Canada" as a carrier signal for the distribution
of news across the country?  (You know, we could use the same
technique they use for the hearing impaired (closed captioning?)
as I am sure that they don't use that technique for hockey!)

The only problem with this scheme is that it makes for slow news
retransmission in the summer.     

Oh, of course, capital :-)     (Lest I forget)

PS. As for using the Stanley Cup as an antenna, I don't really
    mind: it would probably end up in the Montreal area most of the
    time anyway!  (but what would we do if it ever ended up in
    California?!?)   :-)
