On tonight's Channel 5 news, plenty of coverage of UVM basketbal vs Syracuse in the first round of DI NCAA Tourney, including the sendoff. They also covered the women's basketball. NOT A WORD ABOUT NORWICH OR PLATTSBURGH HEADING TO THE DIII FINAL 4 IN LAKE PLACID, or the sendoff! BUT WCAX CH 3 HAD FANTASTIC COVERAGE OF BOTH NORWICH AND PLATTSBURGH! THANK-YOU WCAX, and JEERS to ch 5.

Re: The DIII Snub On WPTZ
WCAX included interviews with Emery and Docking, showed Dockings OT winner at Midd. Highlighted both NU's mens and womens teams. Not bad for a "Vermont" TV stationLast edited by peddler; 03-17-2010, 06:13 PM.The "Miracle" was winning the Gold Medal Game against the Finns. I'm biased, I was there.

Plattsburgh gets more coverage from WCAX than they do from WPTZ. unless a VT team is playing, WPTZ doesn't usually care much!Jim Reisdorf

Re: The DIII Snub On WPTZ
As someone who grew up in Plattsburgh Channel 5 not covering the DIII Hockey in Placid in nothing new. TV 5 is a ragbag TV station that does nothing for the North Country. Now if the Finals were in Vermont they would be all over it. My parents who still live in Plattsburgh watch Channel 3 (CBC), out of Burlington, for their news about Plattsburgh and the North Country and weather. Channel 5 hasn't had a good weatherman since Bird Berdan. At least he would stick his head out the window before he went on air to announce the weather.

Re: The DIII Snub On WPTZ
And with SUNY Brockport grad, Matt Hobbs now Sports Director at WHAS11 in Louisville, KY, it will probably get worse. At least Matt liked hockey.Last edited by norm1909; 03-17-2010, 07:31 PM.Larry Normandin

Catch the REAL coverage on WCAX in another 5 minutes on Channel 3 (or whatever it is on DISH/Direct/other weird means of getting channels)!The "Miracle" was winning the Gold Medal Game against the Finns. I'm biased, I was there.

Re: The DIII Snub On WPTZ
Hey come on folks ... give Channel 5 some slack ...
I agree Channel 3 does a great job ... Mike, Seth and Tony are all excellent reporters and they work their butts off ... (so do Kristian and Whitney at Fox44).
But before you trash WPTZ's sports department take the time to check how much time they have to work with compared with Channel 3 ... it isn't even close.
Sports on WCAX is an important part of the broadcast ... at WPTZ it is an after thought. But that isn't the sports department's fault. That rests completely with their bosses ...
As for not liking hockey ... give me a break.
