They'll use it for TSN broadcasts, of course, and for the Winter Olympics (which the CBC also let get away from them).

That makes sense. This is just a tit-for-tat at the expense of the tax-payer. I did not know about the ringtone dispute. Now, that I do, I still think the CBC made the right decision.
