One correction, although I do not have the #'s, the Beanpot rates extremely high in the Boston area for TV ratings. It's not only watched by all, but gets the front page of all the newspapers the next day, gets the prime spot on the news, and is all that everyone talks about the next day, children and adults. TV 38 does make a good deal of $$$ on it, and could afford to pay more, but, IMHO, it's a 2-way street. It's big now, but I'm sure part of its growth is due to TV 38 carrying it every year. TV 38 does make a good deal of $$$ from the event, but I would rather see the exposure and hey... let a regular TV station brag about the $$$ they are making on college hockey, perhaps this would make more TV stations listen...
