We are a hockey first team second household and watch as much hockey as we can. My two top teams are located in non-traditional hockey markets (I guess I like my hockey hot), so it feels like the original six teams are being forced onto everybody and we just want our teams to get some attention, too. Having worked in the cable industry for 17 years, I understand the money side of TV rather well and still keep up with industry news. The biggest TV related topic for me tends to be the tenuous relationship between Bally and the NHL, and I hope the NHL business planners are hard at work coming up with a plan for next year that relies less in RSNs.
I'm a Texas native who spent a decade on the West Coast before moving to the East Coast recently. The whining from the Wings about the 830 start time is pretty ridiculous. The central and West coast teams get screwed regularly on start times because of the East Coast Bias that exists in the broadcast world.
Suck it up Wings or maybe we could have 3pm EST starts to stagger things next time.
