What about theme BLAK with some guarana mixed in??

Government is idiotic no matter what country it is. The govt funded CBC network pays $500 each time the song is played. They only play is twice a broadcast, so $1000 per telecast isnt gonna break the bank.

They will probably setup a commission or task force that will cost $250k to determine the cultural impact of changing the music instead.

Well, they just bought the rights outright.

This whole campaign was just a tactic to scare the copyright owners into thinking they'd get nothing at all if they didn't acquiesce.

Actually it was CTV that bought the rights and it looks like the copyright owner was playing two bidders against each other to maximize value.

I must have misunderstood the "Breaking News" during the Euro Cup coverage on TSN.

I stand corrected.
