About Eye on the Media

Eye on the Media, debuted on Kukla’s Korner in February of 2008, and deals with all the evil, weird and just plain insane things that happen when hockey ventures into the foreign worlds of TV, Radio and News Print. I am a student, and a communications major, in New Jersey, which by association means you can blame me for destroying hockey. I love hockey and wants to hear everything you have to say about the way our game is covered.

Next entry: The Battle to Air the Playoffs

Previous entry: Quarterfinal Schedules Are Set

To Make Your TV Guide a Little Easier…

Here are the TV schedules for the first round of he playoffs for both the United States and Canada.  A couple of rules for looking at this:

1. In the United States, all VERSUS telecasts are non-exclusive.  That means that, unless the team consents to it (Nashville-San Jose last year is an example), your local regional sports network will air the game.  NBC telecasts are exclusive, and will only air on NBC.

2. Note that these will be subject to change after every series is past Game Four, and schedules will change as series end.

3. All VERSUS and NBC action is slated to air in High-Def.  Not certain, but at least two of CBC’s and TSN’s series should be as well.

Enjoy:

In several instances, you show this:

April 11th
7:00 PHI vs. WSH (VERSUS)
9:00 COL vs. MIN (VERSUS)

How is that possible?  The Flyers-Caps game won’t be over before the Avalanche-Wild game?

Thanks,

Colorado-Minnesota will be joined in progress.

Posted by Steve from New Jersey  on  04/07  at  12:23 PM

What did the Wild/Avs do to piss off Versus?  They are the only series not to have every game televised nationally.  And 3 of the 4 games televised are in Colorado.  Does Versus hate Minnesota, the Wild, the Xcel Center, or all of the above?

You’d think the State of Hockey would garner a little more attention.

Posted by Hammer from Minneapolis  on  04/07  at  12:34 PM

Hammer, it’s more likely that because the games in Minnesota must start at 8 or 9PM ET, and the Colorado ones can air at 10, so they can be packaged as a Doubleheader.
