As you may have heard, Joe Sensors (in Bloomington) is no longer able to broadcast Sioux home hockey games. As a U of M alum and recovering Gopher fan (I married a die-hard Sioux fan and have been dedicated to my step-team for quite a few years now), I am very disappointed in this turn of events.
I have a friend who runs the TVs at Sensors, and here is the story. The Ralph has decided to switch from an analog signal to a digital signal to broadcast the games to local (Grand Forks) TV, apparently as a cost saving measure. Unfortunately, no one (anywhere) has the equipment to pick up this signal. He is looking into getting the management at Sensors to buy the equipment needed. We hope that if they are reminded about how much money the Sioux fans bring in every weekend when watching the games, they will buy into the idea of getting the new equipment. Give them a call and let the manager know
