According to an article I saw over the weekend, the AD's of the four Beanpot schools are considering moving their TV coverage to another network. I do not know the details of the current pact, but currently the Beanpot semifinals are carried on NESN with the championship game on TV-38, WSBK out of Boston. WSBK is the non-cable home of the Bruins and Red SOX, has a large viewing area and is also a semi-superstation. (I'd be curious to know if how many of you non-New Englanders get a chance to watch it. I know I was psyched this past spring when I was in Calgary on business and got to see my home-town station) Anyways, according to the article, the motivation is $$ (Surprise, surprise!) Channel 68, a much smaller station with a smaller viewing area, is supposedly offering more money per school for the chance to broadcast the game. I cannot remember the numbers (of dollars) begin discussed, but I thought the increase was relatively small. I was wondering if perhaps any Hockey-Lers who were in some way affiliated with any of the four schools (BC, BU, Harvard, NU) could let their AD's and schools that all parties involved would be best suited by keeping the game TV-38. Certainly better exposure would benefit both the schools and teams involved more that just a few extra dollars, no? Also, if anyone could enlighten me/us with more details surrounding this, could you let me/us know? ************************************************************************** Steve Weisfeldt Go River Hawks!!!!!!!!
