Xitium 272 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/watchdog..._from_ch_4.html Ch. 4 will not be showing the entirety of the Detroit-Nashville hockey game scheduled for NBC Sunday because of its coverage of the Pope's visit to Big Town. Until the Pope portion of the TV day is over, the game will be shown on WNBC 4.4, a digital channel not available to everyone. (It's on Ch. 110 on Cablevision, I believe). The entire game will also appear on MSG Plus. There's an NBA playoff game on Ch. 7 Sunday. I will let you now if/when I hear about the game plan for that apparent conflict. (UPDATE: I am told the game will be seen on ESPN2, thus accommodating Pope watchers and basketball watchers.) Anyone hear anything else about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xitium 272 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Church and hockey should remain seperate!!!! is it still on FSN? I will still be on FSN, I believe. The only thing Im worried about is that NY/DET are both in the same time zone, so it may be the same in the Detroit area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing Im worried about is that NY/DET are both in the same time zone, so it may be the same in the Detroit area. Its is not on FSN.

Kira 451 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 It's bad enough that I have to miss the game Sunday for a memorial service (my hubby's stepfather, who I never got along with at all). But if you take off my beloved Red Wings for something like this, I'll be raising hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
