A good interview that seems to clear the air.

Agreed.   I've been disappointed with Winnipeg Media in general.  Too much inference and not enough reporting.  I wish they would just report and not try to sell their personal understanding of the situation as fact.

Like Ed Tait with the Bombers. I accept that it won't be hard hitting or controversial but he still has his writing skills and the power of observation. 

These pro teams building their own production units to me is a huge hedge against broadcast and cable television basically not existing by the time the current media deals expire.

Would not be surprised by the end of the decade if teams/leagues are producing their own broadcasts and streaming them/farming them out to streaming services.

I wonder if the organization will finally bring back the alumni Hall of Fame ceremonies (I can't remember if Teemu's number is up in the rafters yet)

Yeah I’m not surprised a cable channel died.  Just from following the Q2 earnings calls of all the entertainment/tech/cable companies the number of people buying cable is dropping rapidly especially in the US.  
 

It’s quite possible in the near future that entities like TSN and Sportsnet don’t exist in the form where they have capital to invest in production.  They might just exist as versions or parts of streaming services as they lose carriage fees from increasing loss of cable subscribers.  What cable provided was lots of cash flow for channels regardless of viewership.  It’s drying up fast.  Streaming is the opposite…needs actual viewers/subscribers to specific content.

 

Seems to me teams and leagues are starting to realize they need to produce their own content and maybe package some of it out to streaming services if they don’t create their own.

I think the time gives it away probably not retiring numbers but names going up in the rafters.

You mean a salute as Teppo's already retired. It's in AZ's rafters.

Might as well salute Doan then.

Teppo played 8 seasons in Winnipeg.   Doan only played his rookie season in Winnipeg before the team moved....

Teppo was a winnipeg Jets legend not a Coyotes legend like Doan. 

Teemu and Teppo deserve their numbers in the rafters in Winnipeg 

Yeah didn't I already ask on another thread if they'll bring back the alumni inductions now?

Could you just stop commenting on the Jets altogether? Jee-zus.

Kind of feels like they were hacked don't it?

 

bye Stast, well our off-season drama is over.

1.5m for 1yr. Have to think Jets were 3+.

Wow I didn't think his value was that low?    

So I'm out of the loop have the Jets filled out the AHL roster and signed the yearly plethora of 4th line players?

Not even that this year. It's a tank year, for sure.

It won't even be that. I could respect a full on tank season and come out with a superstar like Connor Bedard at the end of it.  But they won't make that call so it'll be another mediocre year in the mushy middle where we accomplish nothing.

So, typical Jets? 

So much for having our top 3 lines 81/80/etc, etc/55/26 and 27/25/etc.
