WNYE features a mix of Public Talk, Ethnic programming and a morning simulcast of Fordham University AAA 90.7 WFUV New York.

Hofstra University’s 88.7 WRHU Hempstead will begin their sixth year as flagship for the team’s broadcasts producing the games with Chris King beginning his 22nd season with the team. Greg Picker, who had served as the franchise’s social media communications coordinator and website contributor will join King as analyst.

Just curious, what happens during the traditional commercial breaks? Are there underwriting announcements?

Why are they keeping the "Islanders" name when they're no longer on the Island? Is it just for this season while their marketing geniuses get busy on a new goofy name and logo they can sell, sell, sell?

The Isles moved this year from the old Nassau Coliseum (which was further east on L.I. to the borough of Brooklyn (a few miles west).

Technically, everything east of the East River is a part of Long Island but Long Island is usually referred to as either Nassau or Suffolk County. Part of the reason is that Brooklyn used to be a city in its own right (that why you see and hear so many references to it as a city in WWII-era movies) before the five counties were combined making up the present City of New York. Locals will still say they are from Brooklyn or Queens instead of from Long Island. It's a pride thing.
