Edit: For more, updated, information on Steve Kouleas’ new show on TSN, see this article.

Today TSN announced that Steve Kouleas will be re-joining TSN in the New Year and getting his own TV show. Kouleas, who most recently worked at The Score, will be the host of a nightly program called Hockey2Nite. It will air weeknights at 11pm ET on TSN2. Kouleas is rejoining the network where he began his broadcasting career as a producer in 1990.

Throughout his 20 year career Kouleas has also worked for Hockey Night in Canada on CBC, CBS, NBC, ESPN and was the voice of the Buffalo Sabres.

This is a great addition for TSN, especially considering they were lacking an 11pm hockey highlights program. Now Hockey2Nite will go head-to-head with Sportsnet’s HockeyCentral. I’d imagine that many current HockeyCentral Tonight viewers will migrate over to TSN2 (myself included) because TSN simply does a better job at hockey.

I’m honestly not even sure if Kouleas has been employed by The Score recently. I haven’t seen him on the channel in a while, but I don’t watch it a lot (outside of The Footy Show, Serie A and NCAA football) anyway, so it is quite possible that I just haven’t noticed him. If this is a loss for The Score, then this is just the most recent example of them losing both talent and programming to TSN and Sportsnet. Really, outside of The Footy Show personalities and Tim Micallef, they have nobody who is well-respected in the Canadian sports broadcasting community left. Cabbie Richards recently left the network just over a week ago to pursue other oppertunities.
