The channel/ station/ network has gone through many iterations, starting as Northwest Cable Sports in 1988.
In 2013, the Mariners purchased the majority stake in the network, although it has at times featured teams such as the Seattle Kraken.
The Seattle Times reports that MLB will take over production of regular season Mariner games for 2026 and beyond on a yet unnamed channel.
On-camera crew, such as Brad Adam and Angie Mentink (pictured above) are expected to transfer to the new network. However, production crew and advertising sales people are not expected stay on The network has been headquartered in the Eastgate section of Bellevue. Announcers like Aaron Goldsmith and Rick Rizzs are employed by the team.
Cal Raleigh hit two home runs, becoming only the fourth American player in MLB history to hit 60 homeruns in a season.
With just a win needed, the team appeared to struggle, falling behind the Colorado Rockies 3-1. The Rockies have lost 113 games so far, and were hungry to be spoilers.
The bases were loaded when reliever Juan Mejia hit two batters with pitches and walked another. Naylor delivered one of only three hits of the evening for the Mariners, but it cleared the bases and gave the team it's only lead, which it wouldn't lose.
Fans at Savannah Bananas game were picked to sing songs by the band, Train. Several sang, but one sounded a little more polished. He was the actual lead singer of the band, Pat Monahan.
Monahan lives in the Seattle area.
Still important for both programs. Go Cougs!
From what I hear, locker-room facilities at Borleske were outdated, and warm showers were not available.
My brother, Steve, last month, took me over to see the new field, where I got a nighttime shot of the outside. Click here.
Steve recently posted this picture of a game played there.
Congrats to Walla Walla High School football fans and Go Blue Devils!
Volman was known for his frizzy hair and voice, he seemed to also have the most comedic flair. He could play almost any instrument.
The band's lead singer and also co-founder, Howard Kaylan, briefly lived in the Seattle area, where he and his wife were customers at our UPS Store in Crossroads, Bellevue.
I was able to watch Volman play at a couple of the Happy Together Tour concerts that we attended.
I read about Bowker in a column in a Seattle newspaper, years ago.
He would also help create another Seattle brand, Red Hook, a micro-brew beer. At one time, you could say Red Hook and Starbuck's in the same sentence. Of course, Starbuck's exploded, Red Hook, not so much.
He was also involved in Advertising in the Seattle area.
A while back, I saw a movie called "The Founder" on how a milkshake machine salesman, Ray Kroc, took over McDonald's and brought it to international fame, and Starbuck's story is eerily similar. Schultz was a coffee machine saleman.
Bowker died late last month at 82. This article in the Post Alley blog pays tribute to him. Click here.
Raveling was head basketball coach at WSU from 1972-1983. That included the time that I was there. I got to interview him when I took the TV class.
Raveling led the Cougars to two NCAA tournament appearances. Raveling was also the first African-American coach in what became the Pac 12.
After leaving Pullman, he had coaching stops at Iowa and later USC.
Raveling was reportedly a key player in getting Michael Jordan to sign a deal with NIKE for a brand of basketball shoes, a revolutionary move in the world of athletic apparel.
He also had the original script for Martin Luther King's speech for the 1963 March on Washington. Raveling had worked security at the event.
Raveling played basketball at Villanova from 1957-1960.
Raveling was inducted into basketball's Naismith Hall of Fame in 2015.
