Fred Roggin Failed to Get Stanley Cup Final on NBC
Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final just wrapped up and if you don’t get the NBC Sports Network at home, you’ve missed the last two Los Angeles Kings home games.
NBC4 sports anchor Fred Roggin tried to get his station to air the games locally but didn’t have any luck, according to SportsByBrooks.com:
Fred Roggin told KSPN-AM he tried for 3 wks to get NBC to air Stanley Cup Games 3/4, relegated to NBCSN, on LA local KNBC Ch 4. No dice.

Denying #2 NBC affiliate request to air Kings Stanley Cup clincher – fronted by influential Roggin – wouldve been unthinkable pre-Comcast. — SPORTSbyBROOKS (@SPORTSbyBROOKS) June 7, 2012
Roggin at KNBC in LA since Original Six + hockey guy + wields biz influence beyond typical sports guy. Game on in LA if Ebersol still there.

The good news is NBC will carry the remaining Stanley Cup Final games. Game 5 is Saturday night in New Jersey.
