FOX ALTERS FOXTRAX FOR RANGERS-FLYERS PLAYOFF GAME

5.19.1997

          Fox Sports "turned out the lights" on its glowing
     hockey puck during Sunday's Rangers-Flyers game at the
     CoreStates Center, according to USA TODAY's Michael
     Hiestand.  Fox kept the on-screen "'comet-tails' left by
     slap shots but not the continuous blue glow around the
     puck."  Fox Executive Producer Ed Goren, on the change: "As
     of today, I like what I see" (USA TODAY, 5/19).  Fox told
     THE DAILY that the comet-tail had appeared on previous
     telecast only when the puck reached speeds of 70 mph.  The
     network lowered the required speed as of yesterday's
     telecast in order for the comet-tail to appear more
     regularly.  The decision was made during ongoing discussions
     between Fox and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman (THE DAILY).
