Painful.Who are the dudes that do cat fish on ice podcast? I could only make it through 15 min of last nights episode before giving up .
Man, listening to Weber in that 1st pre-season game.. it was pure gold.
You can wait forever and it will never change. Traditional media is dying because more and more people voluntarily take the route you're describing as "some obscure corner of the Internet", and so they're cutting back to that which gets the most casual attention and thus the most dollars. And that's always going to be football.Yeah…..if I’m having to go to twitter or some obscure corner of the internet to get less than adequate coverage of the best sports franchise in Nashville, I’m still gonna complain about lack of coverage. Twitter is a cess pool that you refuse to get in to. The “local media” does a trash job of covering the Preds. The radio station that claims to be the “Flagship of the Predators” MIGHT talk about them for 30 minutes during a program on a good day. I doubt any one on that station could talk intelligently about any of the other teams in the NHL. If someone handed them a roster for the Admirals, they’d have no clue what they were looking at.
But they can drone on for hours on end about the most obscure players on any roster until NFL……..
We have Aaron Sims back to do the games on radio. Aaron has a backup if he gets sick or works the rare TV telecast game.Any chance we can put Willy D on waivers with the first group of kids heading back to Milwaukee? He obviously did not take his off season training regimen seriously and it shows he still horrible to listen to. He calls games about as well as Ben Harper plays.
You over rate the level of intelligence of the TWITS, sir!Yeah…..if I’m having to go to twitter or some obscure corner of the internet to get less than adequate coverage of the best sports franchise in Nashville, I’m still gonna complain about lack of coverage.

The Buckeyes were the second best college football team in the entire state of Ohio last year.You can wait forever and it will never change.

We have the same phenomenon going on up here. If all you paid attention to was traditional media channels, you'd think Buckeye football was the only thing that ever happens here. It's the state of sports media in general right now.

In today’s society, the media drives the narrative. Twitter, blogs and obscure websites by people that decided they wanted to be “journalist” this week, will never have the same sway. Will the journalist/sports writer wannabes put out content? Sure they will. Will that content be of any quality? Probably not because the team has no idea who they are and aren’t going to share much of anything with them.You can wait forever and it will never change.

Um. So do the blogs. And the Twitterati. A number of folks in that list of "local media" sources on Twitter are in fact so credentialed. A couple are going to Prague with the team.In today’s society, the media drives the narrative.

Like it or not, radio stations and TV stations still have the credentialed reporters/journalist that the organization will talk to.
It's pretty easy to be bombarded with stupidity just following the Preds official feed.It’s really easy to curate a twitter feed. If you are being bombarded with stupidity on twitter then you’re likely the one doing something wrong.

If you’re considering Twitter to be local media, then I’m voting for Nine_inch_fang to create a Twitter account so that the “local media” has someone that can spell NHL…..Um. So do the blogs.

But I don't think most people really care about "quality content"... or know the difference. Or care to find out the difference. They just want the fire hose pointed into their face, and they'll take whatever comes out, whether it's true, false, "quality", junk, whatever. They are going to be sitting at their devices clicking all those types of media for all their other daily content anyway. That's how people live now. And so yeah, sadly they will cheerfully consume any such junk content, and it won't really matter what some small minority of more "serious" fans would rather see.In today’s society, the media drives the narrative.

Like it or not, radio stations and TV stations still have the credentialed reporters/journalist that the organization will talk to. The TV stations and radio stations refuse to dedicate much of their shows to the Preds keeping the team from being more prominent than they are. If the media decides tomorrow to dedicate half their coverage to the Preds, the local market would start paying more attention to the Preds growing the fan base, the fan base knowledge of hockey would expand and would lead to the local market wanting even more. The media just refuses to do that.
The actual media holds all the cards and the wannabe bloggers/twittersphere/obscure website folks will never provide much quality content.
