According to CBC’s official website, Copyright Music & Visuals, the company who represents Claman, were unable to reach a deal with CBC over the rights to the theme music. It now appears that CBC Sports will hold a national contest in collaboration with Nettwerk Music Group to a find a new tune for their signature show, HNIC.
