Stars finally set for delayed opener after COVID positives
Read full article: Stars finally set for delayed opener after COVID positivesThe Stars' return comes after 17 players tested positive for COVID-19, even though most were asymptomatic.

Hockey makes progress in midst of awakening about racism
Read full article: Hockey makes progress in midst of awakening about racismAnson Carter filled his time in pandemic isolation walking 11 miles a day, sometimes with his dogs, around his Atlanta neighborhood. To use a hockey term from his playing days, he kept his head on a swivel. I dont take it for granted.It's the sort of experience the 46-year-old TV analyst wants to explain to viewers. He'll get that chance beginning Tuesday, when NBC Sports launches a new Hockey Culture show spearheaded by Carter a 10-year NHL player to try to change the culture of hockey, one interview at a time.The initiative comes amid an awakening in hockey about systemic racism and its role in the majority white sport.

You make the call: Should stations interrupt programming for breaking news coverage?
Read full article: You make the call: Should stations interrupt programming for breaking news coverage?DETROIT - If you're a football fan of a certain age, you remember the commercials showing a controversial football play, then asking you to play referee, exclaiming, "You Make The Call!" But the station deciding to delay its weather coverage for football fans might have lost a generation's worth of trust. Take a look at this tweet from the KXAS meteorologist during the storm, telling his audience storm coverage is available online. We don't want to interrupt the Cowboys game on NBC 5, but @RickMitchellWX wants to keep you ahead of the storm. But there are countless examples of the opposite response: when stations interrupt popular programming and get dragged on social media for doing their job.

Without this kind of production from that first line, the Red Wings most definitely would be 0-2.

That's a positive takeaway so far for this Red Wings defense that's still looking for an identity. - Dave | dbartkowiak@wdiv.comExpensive LCA stories I got at least two dozen emails after the last newsletter about prices at Red Wings games.
