Pension Plan Puppets has a long discussion of the recent history of Hockey Night in Canada: http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2016/6/9/11847814/hockey-night-in-canada-rogers-got-it-all-wrong
I think HNIC is better than NBC, but only because NBC is so actively infuriating, not because I find HNIC is actually enjoyable to watch. So it was really interesting to read about the process by which HNIC arrived in its current form. Apparently there's hope of change soon!
