Since 1987 (for the most part), Islanders games that were broadcasted on Sports Channel, FSN NY and MSG have been produced by one man: Kevin Meininger. He falls into the category of people who fans never heard of, but are an integral part of the Islanders extended family.
Meininger received a promotion from MSG two weeks ago and is now the Sr. Coordinating Producer of the NY Knicks, NY Liberty and NY Rangers telecasts on the MSG Network.
Mike Santini, who produced NY Mets broadcasts for MSG, has been named his replacement.
Meininger was one of the reasons that the broadcasts of the Islanders have won multiply NY Emmy’s over the past few years and the organization owes a lot to him for helping promote the team. Over the past few seasons, Kevin became a good friend of mine and he will be missed by many in the organization.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about John McComb passing away. Meininger actually took over producing Islanders games for him in 1987.
Congratulations Kevin. But remember…Now you’re part of the enemy!
