IMHO, Deron-
 
1. It is premature to try a discussion on this until we see some scheduling.
 I know Hockey's schedule is almost set.  Why don't you ask Dale for an
interview???
 
2. You are quoting the Bangor Deadly as the authority.  They obviously have
had a beef with WZON this past season, (although I couldn't for the life of
me tell you why), so any articles quoted from the BDN, the most overtly
biased paper in Maine, are immediately suspect.  (Is my bias showing?)
 
3.  As a hockey fan, I have valued the coverage given "my" sport on the ZONE,
but I am also very realistic about the continuance of coverage.  I expect
Men's Basketball at Maine to explode over the next few years.  That will
necessitate a change in the scheduling to accommodate an increased fan
demand.  Personally, I am not averse to delayed broadcasts, or live updates,
especially of home games.
 
See, I managed to discuss for quite a while, didn't I?!?
