Hockey Night in Canada is a CBC program. CBC can no longer use the jingle because CTV bought it.
Should be settled as yes.

"You will be hearing the popular music come next hockey season."

This question should settle as 'Yes'.

Just saw the most recent settlement request.

As submitted earlier, this was settled incorrectly as "No" -- should be resettled as yes, with late predictions made after original settlement date (June 9th) voided.
