Last week was a bad week for linkage as I was going in between two offices. In addition, I had lost my internet access, but everything is back to normal this week. Well, let’s hope so.
Here is some linkage for you.
From Sports Business Weekly, John Ourand writes that both NESN and YES can lay claim to being the top Regional Sports Network in the nation.
SBJ provides the list of Top 10 Rated and Most Viewed RSN’s.
Speaking of NESN, the network’s majority owners, the Boston Red Sox are tapping into a sports social networking site as Eric Fisher writes.
Eric Fisher writes that SBJ sister publication, the Sporting News, has a new editor.
Over to Sports Business Journal’s Vancouver Olympics site which I will link to every day, and it’s noted that NBC’s ratings are doing quite well for the first two days of the competition.
And the Sports Business Daily also looks at the higher ratings for the Olympics on NBC.
John Ourand of SBD explores NBC’s decision to air and then to stop airing the luge video.
USA Today’s Michael Hiestand says NBC is on a very wild ride early on in the Olympics.
The New York Times’ Richard Sandomir writes that NBC bobsled and luge analyst John Morgan experienced deja vu with the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili.
Phil Mushnick of the New York Post decides he’s going to be the keeper of all things humanity today.
Pete Dougherty of the Albany Times Union writes that NBC’s ratings through the first two days of the Vancouver Games are ahead of Turin four years ago.
Ken Schott over at the Schenectady Gazette says a local FM station will be picking up more Albany River Rats games.

Tom Jones from the St. Petersburg Times says the death of Kumaritashvili set a pall on the Olympics.
Dusty Saunders from the Denver Post agrees with Jones.
Chris Zelkovich of the Toronto Star shares his thoughts on Canada’s Olympic Broadcasting Consortium’s performance through 3 days of competition.
Chris talks about how CTV handled Alexandre Bilodeau’s historic gold medal for Canada.
But Chris feels the Consortium is cheating viewers.
William Houston at Truth & Rumours feels CTV got the job done on Sunday.
The Sports Media Watch says opposite the Olympics, viewership for NBA All-Star Saturday on TNT dropped by double digits as compared to last year.
I’ll end it there for now.
