Damn television and their ‘rights’. To refuse to let the teams broadcast at the arena or on the outdoor screen. I mean come on. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. All these big corporations are doing is alienating fans.

agreed

and yet they still dont get it. couldnt they just say hey fans, we’re gonna be awesome and let ‘em show it at joe louis … but before you leave to come on down, turn your TV to NBC so we still get our ratings?
i’d do that just because i thought they were being cool.

(cue hippies who rail me for leaving the TV on while i’m not there …)

And aren't they costing charities at both cities money?

I think that the Pens and Wings charge a nominal fee to come watch on the big screen, and then donate that to local causes. If that’s true, then that’s really a dick move by NBC. The MellonTron thing made me appreciate Vs. that much more. Versus NEEDS the damn ratings, but they understand that the fans and the team are the reason that network’s there. Sometimes smaller is better.

NBC could give a flying rip about the game, and now they’ve made a couple of non-friends in some good sized hockey markets. Bright.

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
