After being in recent years on peanut-whistle AM stations simulcasting the TV audio, the NHL Islanders are the first pro team to have their games broadcast on a non-commercial college station, Hofstra University's WRHU, with a pro play-by-play man and student analysts/ hosts:
http://www.rbr.com/radio/28164.html WRHU is proud of its batting average of its students getting into broadcasting and its program schedule is not as we-dare-you-to-listen- to-this as some college stations, so I would not expect a livid DJ playing punk rock records over an Islanders game (the action a student at Rice University in Houston did to a college baseball game on KTRU that started a decade of hostility between the school and the station and ended with the school selling the station to the University of Houston to become a sister station to UH's NPR KUHF). And as for being unable to sell ads, I suspect that soon enough listeners will hear "Support for Islanders hockey on WRHU is provided in part by Bud Light--Here We Go." -- TV or Not TV ....
