Sounds exactly like the Cardinal deal so there should be a channel on DirecTV, Charter, plus streaming.

Likely, yes. Getting rid of all the gambling garbage would actually be a huge improvement in the broadcasts. Of course, they are a source of ad revenue.

That was my hope with the Cardinals telecasts. Unfortunately they replaced FanDuel with a different gambling partner so it’s always on the screen.

Sad. But true. I notice Bet 365 junk in the top right corner of every Cardinals telecast. Needless to say, I didn't buy the subscription. There's way too many [shirt]ty ads as it is.

I'm sure it will never happen. But I sure do enjoy listening to McKenna on his weekly guest appearances on WXOS. And when he was on Daily Faceoff's show. I wish there was a way to work him into some telecasts. And put Vitale on the intermission report.

So direct TV wont have the NHL center ice package? Iam sure theyll still charge me.

Out of market? ESPN+ is the way to go, mostly.

Yup. That’s what I’m stuck with down here in San Antonio.

McKenna would be a real good choice.

More importantly, are they going to upgrade from the pathetic Kerber/Vitale duo?

I hear Keber on the radio today, when asked what the Blues are planning to do he did say they will be going with the same set up as last year,him and Vitale on both the radio and TV, but claimed he knew nothing about the TV plans at this time. I can not understand how we have gotten to this point and they still are not informing the public what the plans are.

We deserve so much better than that duo. It's really miserable.

AGREED. ! I'l listen to visiting feed over that every time.

To complain about the announcers, please Send an email to: broadcast@stlblues.com

Please don’t make us go through another year of Vitale. Kerbs I can handle, Vitale is terrible to listen to for many reasons…his grumbly voice, his yapping, making it all about him and his family - we don’t care about him-, his bad analysis of the game, his manic energy.

At least split the time between Rivers and Vitale. Give us a few games to appreciate the announcers.

Agreed.... at the very least, at the best, replace Vitale !

I honestly believe McKenna would be in general a good radio host, in addition to an analyst. Now granted, I don’t know his knowledge of baseball, football or other sports, but given the “talent” in this town the previous 5 decades that qualified as worthy and couldn’t pronounce Federko correctly, I’d take my chances

I like him a lot.

Seems to be a busy guy in his own endeavors, right?

Would he even want it?

Oh yeah, he seems to be doing well. I’m not sure it would be worth it for him I know he has the liquor store in St Chas and does pop up frequently on the NHL Network, plus his own gig with 101 each week. Good for him at any rate. I had a guy I did business with whose son played with McKenna growing up and he spoke very highly of him.

Agreed. There are other guys who would be better…namely Rivers, Jamal Mayers, and I agree, I like McKenna a lot as well.

As much as I like Pronger, I didn’t think he added much…was quite disappointed in him. Federko is someone who has been under appreciated.

And of course, could we get Oshie or Eric Johnson on the nights they aren’t doing national work? Both were AWESOME!

Personally I like variety. Would even love to see 3-4 guys rotate. Maybe Rivers, McKenna, and Oshie rotation. I’d even be fine if Kerbs wanted his bff Vitale in for 10-15 games.
