    Pegula's next move: starting up regional sports network like Empire used to be?

    There has been speculation that owners Kim and Terry Pegula are considering starting up a regional sports network akin to the Empire Sports Network to televise their games and that they may move the radio rights of the teams.

    It all may be as much about wishful thinking as anything because nobody really knows what is going on.

    But now there is something concrete to report.

    Pegula Sports and Entertainment (PSE) has hired a consultant, Allen & Co., to deal with the team’s media issues.

    Mark Preisler, the executive vice president of media and content for PSE, confirmed that the company led by managing director Steve Greenberg has been hired to “evaluate the best path and strategy for media rights moving forward in TV and digital.”

    WGR is unreadable on verbiage & physical level, terrible site & radio broadcasts. I'd also like to steal someone better than RJ from another team, find them & bring them in.

    RJ is scheduled to call 41 games next season in his final year of what is supposed to be his final contract. After this season Dan Dunlevy will take over full time
