TORONTO,
Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ - Score Media
Inc. (TSX: SCR) today announces that Greg
Wyshynski, a.k.a "Puck Daddy", has officially joined its
line-up of broadcast talent. Greg
Wyshynski, the editor of Puck Daddy, Yahoo! Sports' infamous
and humorous hockey blog, today becomes a member of theScore with a
live show on theScore Satellite Radio on SIRIUS Satellite Radio
channel 98. Puck Daddy Radio will be hosted by Greg Wyshynski along with theScore's
Rob Pizzo, and will air Monday to
Friday from 1-2 p.m. ET. Each
episode will be rebroadcast at 5 p.m.
ET daily and will be streamed on both theScore.com and on
Yahoo.com's Puck Daddy blog.
Since 2008, Puck Daddy has blended in-depth analysis of the NHL
with a humorous look at hockey culture. It is considered the
leading hockey blog in North
America for its innovation and influence.
Award-winning editor, Greg
Wyshynski, has written for many leading publications
including Deadspin, AOL FanHouse, the Hockey News, The Fourth
Period Magazine and SportsFan Magazine. He also spent 9 years
as an editor for The Connection Newspapers of Northern Virginia, a chain of 16 weekly
publications.
Wyshynski frequently appears as a guest on radio stations around
North America and through his many
years as a hockey authority, he has developed an enormous following
of devoted fans. His weekly play-off show and various other
appearances on theScore during the 2009-2010 NHL season got rave
reviews and left fans wanting more.
"After the success of last season's Puck Daddy play-off show, we
discovered that fans wanted more and that a weekly show was simply
not enough so we made the decision to create a dedicated, daily
show that will give both Puck Daddy and his fans an even louder
voice in the hockey world," says Mike
Gentile, Program Director, theScore Satellite
Radio.
With Wyshynski's wit and in-depth hockey knowledge, Puck Daddy
Radio on SIRIUS channel 98 will be the go-to destination for hockey
fans across North America.
"My goal is to take the insight and entertainment from Puck
Daddy and bring it to theScore Satellite Radio. It'll be
exciting, informative and unpredictable," says Greg Wyshynski, Host, Puck Daddy Radio. "I
think theScore is a perfect partner in bringing the nonsense we do
on the blog to an unsuspecting public and I look forward to
interacting with the Puck Daddy audience on a more personal level
as scary as that could get."
