Nice try, but you can't expect the "media" to just generously say, "oh yeah,
sure, put the selection show on our network. We'll gladly give up the
advertising $$"
Bottom line - millions will watch the basketball show - millions won't watch
the hockey show ... the fact that it's now on ESPN2 is progress enough at
this point. NHL hockey is the least watched sport as it is, and we're lucky
that's on network.
