THIRD SEASON
NEHJ TV: A ratings hit as it moves to NESN
T
elevision networks, advertisers and viewers have shared a
unified message the past two
winters: New England Hockey Journal,
the TV show, is a winner.
“Our product and the platform is
second to none, and after a strong
debut season and even better Season
2, we have elevated our TV platform
for Season 3 with a vibrant new host,
acclaimed video production company
and a shift to the region’s foremost
hockey network, NESN,” Executive
Producer Eric Seamans said. “We aim
to celebrate the passion for the game
in our region. New England Hockey
Journal TV does that and much more.”
Every episode takes viewers where
no one else is — profiling the players
and teams around New England that
make hockey in our region so exciting and diverse. We go beyond the
professional game and take viewers behind the scenes with the most
interesting college, junior, prep and
high school teams and players.
In its first season, NEHJ’s four
episodes were ratings successes.
Advertisers including Bauer, Hockey
Monkey and FMC Ice Sports reached
an audience of more than 67,000
viewers in peak airing. Season 2 saw
an expansion to seven episodes and
even stronger ratings.
Season 3 will continue the
excellence that the NEHJ brand has
delivered for more than two decades
to our hockey-passionate region.
