| The HD channel will feature Pittsburgh area native Steve Mears as host of a daily show, “Penguins Live,” from 9:30 a.m.- 12 noon each weekday during the season. Mears, 29, spent the last three seasons as the radio play-by-play voice for the New York Islanders. A native of Murrysville and a graduate of Franklin Regional High School, Mears grew up as a Penguins fan, idolizing Mario Lemieux and Mike Lange. “As a lifelong Penguins fan, the opportunity to come home, work for the organization and help create this new HD channel is a dream come true,” Mears said. Mears will be joined by Pittsburgh radio personality Tom Grimm, who also will produce “Penguins Live.” |
Talk about an upgrade

He should still be working for us, he was very good.

Another asinine move by Dey. I think somewhere I read that Asinine was his middle name.

He shouldn't be THERE in the first place. Damn Chris Dey. :angry:

You forgot "Damn budget cuts." Because that's what it boiled down to. It's not like Dey walks around saying "You! I don't like your shoes. You're fired."
The organization is given a budget and told make it work. LOTS of things got cut, you know that.
I don't know how the lack of radio team coverage will work. I'm waiting for Billy Jaffe to be back in town to talk to him about it.
And yes, I wish they could have kept Steve. He really did the Islanders proud while he was here. So did Kinger.

Oh please. From what I was told by Dey the entire radio ops cost as much as an one entry level player. 1/2 of what Tambellini earns and they were at the top of their game every game.
It comes down to the ISLANDERS ARE CHEAP.
