Check back for updates…

TV: Mears on FSN, Butch on Radio

Due to family reasons, Howie Rose will be unable to join the Islanders in Philadelphia for tonight’s game versus the Flyers. Stepping in for him will be Islanders radio play-by-play announcer Steve Mears, who will be making his NHL TV debut. He will of course call the game with Billy Jaffe.

This will be Mears’ first foray into live TV, but not TV altogether. When he was with the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs, Mears occasionally called the CHL Game of the Week for Leafs TV.

On the radio side, Chris King will slide over to play-by-play and will be joined by FSN analyst Butch Goring for tonight’s broadcast.

NYI: Marketing/Ads

You might see an increase of NYI logo sightings this holiday weekend. That's because, the organization has put it's 07-08 marketing capaign into full gear. Back is the "We're All Islanders", but you'll also see ad-specific marketing.

If you go to Newsday.com, you'll see a big Islanders add on the homepage of the screen. That's just the start. As the pennent races for the Mets and Yankees heat up this weekend, the Christie Brinkley tv spot will air on both SNY and YES.

College football fan? Yup, you'll see that spot on ESPN, too.

Music lover? Check out WMJC 94.3, B103.1, KJoy 98.3 and 1050 ESPN Radio all weekend for NYI prizes.

I also think we're throwing our traditional ads in Newsday also (I mean the actual paper).

We're All Islanders over here, and yup, we're trying to make you one too (if you're not already).

NEWS: LI Native Gets TV Call

Minor news, but anytime a fellow Long Islander does something in hockey, I feel its worth mentioning.

The Florida Panthers have named Brooklyn-native Steve Goldstein as their play-by-play man for FSN Florida. Goldstein previously called the action for the Panthers' radio affiliate.

If the name sounds familiar, Goldstein used to work for WFAN and CBS Radio Network up here. Goldstein replaced Jiggs McDonald when he retired from full-time duty.
