Well, the story by Fortune magazine on the potential sale of the YES Network is something I’ll continue to monitor. So far, none of the New York news outlets have reaction, but I’m sure their reporters are working the story.
In the meantime, Richard Sandomir of the New York Times was one of the reporters who had a chance to screen the August 6, 1979 Yankees-Orioles game, the first after the funeral of Thurman Munson, with Bobby Murcer who hit the winning home run in an emotional win. Kevin Kernan of the New York Post was also there. So was Michael O’Keefe of the New York Daily News. Newsday’s Neil Best was as well and I noticed that its site has gone through a redesign. Neil expands on the story in his blog.
Over to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette where Bill Doyle profiles Butch Sterns, sports anchor for Fox25 in Boston and sometimes panelist on The Big Show on WEEI.
Jim Williams in his blog in the DC/Baltimore Examiner writes about FSN Bay Area coming into the Comcast fold. And Williams has a regular story on the Legg Mason tournament which is part of US Open Series and is now aired on ESPN2.
Ryan Schomel of the Iowa City Press-Citizen writes that Mediacom Cable in Iowa is increasing its war of words with the Big Ten Network saying not many Iowans have ever heard about the channel.
Comcast’s CN8 and SportsNet channels will combine to air 20 Colonial Athletic Association football games this fall.
That’s it for now.
