grindlinelove 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 So, NBC has been a bunch of little nancy's and denied us a feed for JoeVision. But here's the big question, what can the NHL/NBC actually DO to the Red Wings organization if Illitch says "eff off" and throws it up on the screen and has a Joe Vision anyway??? Now, if they do it w/o permission and charge, big issues, I know this. BUT, say they dropped the $5 charge and didn't sell concessions? Then, there's no profiting. What I'm asking is, just how big of a fine/lawsuit would result? Stupid question, I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't remember seeing it on TV, so I'm not sure. this is different though... i am talking about the screen VS let happen for the Mellon home games... NBC shot down an attempt to allow us to have an outdoor screen at heart plaza last night for our home game... and Mellon is known for the outdoor screen during home games.

grindlinelove 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 Well, in regards to the outdoor screen at Mellon, I do not belive they charge. I am not sure if the Pens organization sells refreshments or gear there, but if it's only street vendors and what not, then I can see how NBC might not have a beef with it, as opposed to JoeVision which charges (however very minimally) and all that jazz.

redwings8831 40 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 NBC hasn't allowed it for any of the games they've shown, so I doubt their decision changes for Game 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NBC doesn't allow it any more, but Versus did, just for publicity. So, since the rest of the series is on NBC, you won't see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper84 333 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 Actually I have another question. Someone said that they NBC didn't give the Wings the rights to have Joe vision. Now, games 3 and 4 were aired by Versus, so why would NBC have a say? Or was the rights situation just for game 5 (screen) and 6 (joe vision)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
