I'm fully accredited to cover the Heat on behalf of FlamesNation. I do pre-game and post-game stuff over there and I attend all home games. I also participate in every press conference and maintain a bi-weekly newsletter containing some additional tidbits and deeper dives/bigger picture looks.
I'm not affiliated with the Heat at all, but I've established a good relationship with their communications department and it's been a really great working experience to chat with Cail MacLean after every game. My hit on 960 today isn't a regular thing at this point nor is it FlamesNation-related; I've gotten to know Pat over the past few months and the Heat are a big deal right now, what with their lengthy winning streak. To be honest, I've probably watched as much or more of the Heat than anyone this year, and I figure they wanted to get someone to talk about some of the main guys down there with the Flames potentially looking at shaking things up in the near future.
That's more of an answer than maybe you expected but, in short, the game coverage and press conference stuff is all on behalf of FlamesNation. My newsletter is something separate and complementary, building off my existing coverage. My Twitter account is some weird mix of the two. And this radio hit is, as of now, a one-time thing—we'll see how it goes, and I'm really excited about it.
