The Heat/Flames won't have their own station. The few games that were televised here for the Phantoms on a local Time/Warner channel were because of deals other teams (Rochester/Albany) have with Time Warner. I expect no change. Our main news stations come out of Albany so they mention us second to them.
What we do have here is a loyal base of fans who WILL come to the games. We came for the sorry Phantoms for 5 years. I can't wait to see this building with a good team....dare I say a playoff team!
We anxiously await the announcement of the press conference today for Thurs or Fri. Can't wait for the Name/Logo and for tickets to go on sale.
