It looks like...I checked it out and you were right. It looks like I jumped the gun with faulty info. I sincerely apologize to all my readers for that. I pride myself on bringing analysis that is smart, unique and thorough, so we can add something of value to the hockey community. As a first time blogger who just recently started this blog, I committed the inexcusable cardinal sin of not checking through all sources for all the proper facts, I just got excited and jumped the gun. So for what its worth, I promise it won't happen again. Though I am tempted to delete your post ;), I thank you for bringing this to my attention and getting the facts straight.THE NEXT BIG QUESTIONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432652478714650651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007057203121151360.post-12441993318905817672008-04-04T18:46:00.000-07:002008-04-04T18:46:00.000-07:00Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Blackhawks wil...Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Blackhawks will NOT be on the Superstation. The games will just be on local WGN--per the press conference. FYI--the programming for the Superstation is vastly different for Chicago viewers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999907387206550508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007057203121151360.post-17215129330055461142008-04-02T21:28:00.000-07:002008-04-02T21:28:00.000-07:00LOL. I'm not kidding around! I know it sounds like...LOL. I'm not kidding around! I know it sounds like a stretch to many hockey fans, who only hear negative things about the popularity of the sport in the media. But if you look at regional TV ratings or attendance you'll realize that hockey has almost as many fans as the NBA and is not that far off from other sports. I think the NHL said that it has about 50 million fans in the US (or maybe in North America i'll have to check it up). It's just about getting people to watch when their team gets eliminated or is not playing. The 'Hawks have usually been able to do that (when they were good) 'cause they're an original 6 team and they are from Chicago. With national exposure from this TV contract they could convert a lot of fans from other teams or non-hockey fans.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I'm a huge fan of your blog, you always seem to write every post in a dangerously entertaining way! I hope to have more conversations with you in the future!THE NEXT BIG QUESTIONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432652478714650651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007057203121151360.post-46079555021297342342008-04-02T20:51:00.000-07:002008-04-02T20:51:00.000-07:00Please don't say April Fool.
