Dan RE Sports Channel NE... The NE Sports Network has dropped Hockey East coverage. But since the Whale has left town, SCNE is looking for programming. I suppose if we told them we LOVE college hockey they could be persuaded to cover HE. Also, Joe Bertagna, the new HE czar, has said that the TV issue is a front burner item. Empire (Buffalo, NY) covers the ECAC. I don't know if they're on Primestar or not. They're NOT on C-Band (the big dish). The other SportsChannels would pick up the Prime game of the week, but on a delayed tape basis. Joe HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
