Those of you who follow our TV show may have noticed the last few episodes of INSIDE THE GMHL have not appeared online.
Just yesterday, I was informed that Rogers TV would no longer be uploading full episodes to their website. This is a decision made at the corporate level and affects all shows that Rogers local cable TV produces, not only ours, though it's obviously disconcerting that we could not have at least finished this second season online.
After last night's taping, we have one more show to do on April 5 to conclude our second season of INSIDE.... and we have not had the opportunity to sit down and determine what course of action we'll take for next year.
The show is still broadcast on Rogers Simcoe County 6-8 times per week, but to a limited number of viewers in Simcoe County exclusively.
It's great to be on Rogers, but it is the far-reaching capabilities of the internet which make the efforts and expense for this show worthwhile. Considering the wide range of locations throughout the province where our teams are located, combined with the large number of import players in the GMHL, many families come to rely on the internet for coverage, news and information.
Many have communicated to us how much they appreciate the show and the attempt to promote our league and raise our profile in the hockey world. It also goes without saying what a thrill it has been for some living in the United States, Australia, or the numerous countries in Europe represented in our league, to watch their sons being interviewed on the show, watch some of the game highlights we?ve occasionally managed to include, and simply to enjoy the added insight as to goings-on in the GMHL from week to week.
We certainly apologize for the inconvenience, and thank everyone for your support. We'll let you know our plans as we make a decision for next year.
