I keep saying each press release post is the last of the year until I find another time sensitive release. This really is the last press release post. This deals with the NHL Winter Classic and this time from CBC. Unfortunately, Don Cherry didn’t make it down to Boston as he was supposed to be […]

Ok, I lied. This is the last press release post. I was waiting for the last network previews to come in today before posting this. I’m putting off driving in the snow for as long as possible. Plus, Absolute Radio UK is playing great 1980’s music today, so I don’t have an incentive to drive […]

The title of the latest e-mail from NFL Network kind of fooled me to thinking it was a press release solely about a college bowl game. But when I scrolled down, I realized it was the weekly programming release. That’s what I get for not reading my e-mail right away. So I’ll post this and […]
