i recall reading how dissapointed Grant was when Ed retired, and the flames games moved away from 7
wonder if Mike L is applying for some of these jobs......

Mike is doing okay right now with his own production company and I doubt it's worth it to get back into local network sports. As you said local sports news has been pretty marginalized once TSN and then RSN became big players. I still remember having to wait up until after 11:00 just to see Flames highlights of out of town games and you usually only saw a couple of highlights from say a Flames vs Nordiques game. Now not only are all games televised, the you can see highlights every 30 minutes in the evening making it pointless to tune into the late night local news for sports.
