Connecticut Whale Hockey

Will the Connecticut Whale hockey games get a better play-by-play next season now that there's new management at The XL Center (and if the team)? Over the years the following stations have carried the games:

WPOP 1410 AM
WDRC 1360 AM (and its simulcast partners)
WTIC-FM 96.5 HD2
WCCC-FM 106.9
And now they're on the most powerful AM station in Connecticut broadcasting with a mighty 490 watts daytime and 11 watts at night WCCC AM 1290! :p (With select games still airing on 106.9 FM). I actually believe The Whale had more listeners with 1290 running 11 watts than when they were on 96.5 HD2. ::)

I think all games should be on both 97.9 FM and FOX Sports 1410.
 
I think that regressing list of stations says a lot about the overall viability of stations making money off the broadcasts. If nobody's tuning in, then nobody's going to pay for sales packages, and no station owner in their right mind will spend money for the broadcast rights.
