Old, but kind of interesting...

Trying to find a published citation criticizing Grant, I came across this interesting article from the News and Review from back in '03. I'm sure everybody is aware that anyone announcing a Kings' game is on the franchise salary and a lot of this will be old news, but it had some interesting aspects that I was not aware of, such as:

The televised games are actually paid programming, like an infomercial. Under the deal, the Kings buy a block of airtime and shoot their own broadcasts.

Lots of "ZOMG, THEY AREN'T ACTUALLY JOURNALISTS COVERING THE GAME" that we've gone over before, but some interesting looks at the heavy-handed ramifications of not toeing the party line...

What's new about this article?

It hasn’t changed, except that the team isn’t creating a fever pitch of emotion these days.

I came across this a few months ago, also. Still a really good read, especially with the team not going as well. Anyone who remembers it should read it again.
