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.

Avs-Wings, Rangers-Pens Likely draw Even Ratings on NBC
by Steve on 04/28/08 at 01:12 PMComments (1)
The NHL On NBC drew a 1.0/2 for it’s Saturday telecast of Game 2 of the Colorado-Detroit series, and drew a 1.2/3 of the broadcast of Game 2 of the Rangers-Pittsburgh series, according to Sports Business Daily (reg. required). The numbers will likely draw even with comparable data from last season (i.e. an 0.8/2 for Sharks-Wings Game 2, and a 1.0/2 for Rangers/Sabres Game 2 last season).

Lamoriello “Screaming” at Supervisor of Officials Following Loss
by Steve on 04/12/08 at 01:05 AMComments (0)
From Tom Gulitti’s “Fire and Ice”:
Scoring only one goal again clearly was the Devils’ biggest problem in tonight’s 2-1 loss to the Rangers, but the officiating is what really peaked their frustration tonight.
Someone sent a comment earlier that they wished Brent Sutter would go Jim Schoenfled on the officials after tonight’s game. Well, Lou Lamoriello came close.
He could be heard screaming at Supervisor of Officials Terry Gregson in the hallway adjacent to the officials locker room after the game. That hallway was closed to the media by arena security while a member of team security herded Lamoriello down the hallway to the practice locker room.

MSG Unveils Plans for Renovation

From Newsday:
The Garden’s current plan is to use Cablevision funds to turn the inside of the arena into a state-of-the-art facility in time for the 2011-12 Rangers and Knicks seasons. Work will begin in the spring of 2009 and be done primarily over the summers of 2009 and 2010, likely displacing the WNBA’s Liberty for all or part of its seasons. No Knicks or Rangers games will be moved.
Continue Reading, and notice how in the coverage and photos, how prominently the Rangers are featured in comparison to the Knicks.

New York Draws Good Versus Ratings
by Steve on 03/12/08 at 09:50 AMComments (0)
From Jeff Z. Klein at The NY Times Slapshot:
Those days are over. Versus reports that viewership of its Monday night Rangers-Sabres telecast was far larger in New York than in Buffalo. According to Meier Ravich, a spokesman for the network, the game on March 10 averaged 104,000 households in New York against 65,000 households in Buffalo.
“This is in contrast to what we saw last year during the playoffs,” Ravich wrote in an e-mail message, “when these two teams faced off in the conference semifinals (99,000 average HH’s for NYC and 161,000 average HH’s for Buffalo — over two games).”
