Another Job, 100% Pay Increase
May 12th, 2008, 10:43 am
The season may be over for the Sharks organization and fans, but preparations have already begun for next season. I’ll be the permanent co-host on The Teal Spiel when it picks back up in September. The last show of the season was last night, and it’ll be moving to a different format for the rest of the summer. I know Chetan is working on a number of changes and improvements for the show, and I’ll be announcing those when they happen. It’s entirely possible the show will be on a different night or time (or both), and when all that is sorted out, I will let you know.
But it wont be quiet around here all summer; grier and I are already planning on taking the day of the draft (June 21) off from work. And I’m also considering taking July 1 off to watch the TSN free agent coverage all day. My obsession with hockey apparently has not yet peaked.
Nice work on the new gig.
How likely is it that you’ll be able to parlay this into media credentials?
…Perhaps somewhere down the road, in-person Olympic coverage. (So 2010 is still a ways off, but it’s never too early to start planning)
I think Chetan has a press pass, it’s at least conceivable that I could get one too. Even if I did get them, I wouldn’t use them for the games though- the press box is way up in the rafters.
Congrats Mike, looking forward to the Sharks and Teal Spiel for next season.
