2011–12 season
[edit]Negotiations were underway for a second season of the AHL on CBC,[5] but the negotiations fell through. The league instead aired on Rogers Sportsnet that season. Eventually, in 2014, CBC announced it would no longer bid for the AHL or any professional sports broadcasting rights.
