COYOTES PLAN TO CONTINUE UNIQUE NEW BROADCASTING ANGLE

          Coyotes VP/Broadcasting Mark Hulsey said the team will
     again feature a camera angle from three robotic cameras
     mounted two feet above the glass at mid-ice and at each end
     of the ice during a future broadcast.  The Coyotes used the
     same cameras during their November 20 game against the
     Blackhawks (see THE DAILY, 11/18) and fans offered their
     opinion by calling a phone number and voting on
     PhoenixCoyotes.com.  Of 3,454 responses, 53% approved of the
     cameras, but 47% opposed.  Hulsey told THE DAILY, "We're
     going to try it again ... hopefully in February or March."
     Hulsey said one broadcast with five cameras and three replay
     tape machines costs about $10,000, but this special
     broadcast cost "roughly" $12,000.  Hulsey: "We're trying to
     appeal to the non-hockey fans and appeal to the grace and
     style of the game. ... One fan told me, 'I don't like hockey
     because I can't follow the puck on TV, but this was the only
     time I could actually follow the puck'" (THE DAILY).
