From 1965 through 1975, in addition to the Saturday night game on CBC, Hockey Night in Canada also produced and broadcast a Wednesday night game on CTV, CBC's privately owned competitor; beginning in the 1975–76 NHL season, these midweek games would begin to be broadcast by local stations.
After CBS ended its four-year run of airing Saturday afternoon regular season games from 1956–57 to 1959–60, the NHL did not return to American network television until NBC televised selected 1966 playoff games. The clinching game of the 1966 Stanley Cup Finals then aired on RKO General-owned stations. CBS later agreed to air weekend afternoon regular-season games and playoff games from 1966–67 to 1971–72. Due to other programming commitments, CBS subleased its 1966-67 regular-season games to RKO General.
