Just heard that Steve Mears and Chris King will be not returning to the radio airwaves next season. The feed from Howie and Billy on MSG whatever, will be used in a simulcast on the radio.

It is a shame.. we will miss the voices on the radio, as well as the people. THe Isles gave Steve his chance at the NHL, and he did well. Kinger was a fixture for over a decade. Chris was offered a PT job with the pre and post game shows. He may also get a job with the team as well. I hope that happens. He is an ISLANDER, and hopefully will be taken care of.

This is strictly a cost-saving measure. With this team, any way that they can save money – it will happen.

Also – see that our Governor will have a presser to put his official support to the Lighthouse project. Hopefully another piece of ammo to get the town going. With local elections coming soon -this will be a help.

Again – best of luck to Kinger and Steve. I hope Steve gets a new position real soon. He is a good guy and deserves it. Also – Kinger should get settled fast. He is a loyal employee and deserves good treatment.
