Just as an interesting side note, here in Canada today the CTV television network has announced they have purchased the rights to use the theme to "Hockey Night in Canada" after the CBC's license for it expired last week. They plan to use it as the theme for their NHL broadcasts and the hockey coverage in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Earlier today I heard the figure of $3 million mentioned as the price they paid for the rights to use a song that's been around since 1968.
Not that it's apropos to the present discussion but I though it was interesting to note how high licensing fees can go when someone really, really wants it bad.
