"In a first for big league professional sports, the 2010-2011 season radio play-by-play broadcasts of the New York Islanders will not be broadcast by a commercial radio station." I remember reading that the Oakland Seals (they may have been the California Golden Seals when it happened) were on non-commercial radio ~40 years ago, but a brief Google search doesn't confirm it. -- TV or Not TV ....
