NBC just signed for two more seasons of hosting the NHL. They're obviously intrigued since viewership is up from last year, and the Stanley Cup scoring higher than CSI. I hate blackouts and viewing areas and how they do stuff like this, but ultimately, they have the contract. VS handles things quite a bit differently, I'm guessing, since they have a far less foothold in the home. They are doing what they have to to get the name VS out there. NBC doesn't have to. They just have to hold onto what they already have.
