 Well, for the first time since the 2009 season, Lakeland Public TV will not be telephasing BSU men's hockey home games. CEO Bill Samford and BSU Athletic Director Tracy Dill have met several times over the past few months, but significant changes to the original terms, including a requirement of a substantial rights fee payment were proposed by BSU and a new agreement could not be reached. Dill cited concerns that broadcast by LPTV were not causing significant reductions in ticket revenue and attendance at home games. Samford said in a statement, while I'm certainly disappointed, I respect BSU's decision and wish them the best going forward. There just aren't enough business sponsors or individual contributors to support the cost of televising the games with substantial new expenses.
