Islanders games move to 94.3

[neo11]

This according to Long Island Business News. Night games will air on 94.3 and day games will air on WHLI 1100 AM.

The article goes on to point out that, as a result, listeners in NYC, Jersey, and most of CT will not be able to hear the games on the radio. Here's a telling quote:

"The Islanders also become the first major sports team in New York without a presence on the New York City radio dial.

The Islanders Radio Network is set up so fans outside of Long Island can listen on XM Radio or online," said Corey Witt, an Islanders spokesman."

I believe games are streamed for free on NHL.com.

Please, I don't think anyone is aware that WMJC has a stream; judging by its reception by most, they probably rarely even bother to go to their website.

Yeah, back around 1996-1997.

This isn't the first time Islander games have been on 94.3. When WRCN had a simulcast on 94.3 in the mid-90's Islander games were carried there. I even remember hearing a game on 94.3 a year or two ago because 1130 was airing other programming.

The Islanders have had so many radio homes over the years I can't even start to count.
