Statewide Bucks Coverage

Dear Mr. Harris, or Whomever Takes Care of These Matters:

As Milwaukee Bucks basketball fans residing in the state of Wisconsin, but outside the Milwaukee metropolitan area, we are forced to endure spotty (and sometimes no) radio broadcasts of games, generic (if any) print media coverage, and, worst of all, have no means to view the telecasts of Bucks basketball games carried by Milwaukee's UPN 24. While we realize that interest in Milwaukee Bucks basketball outside of the Milwaukee metropolitan area is not what it could nor ought to be, we feel that improved access to the product outside Milwaukee could go a long way towards building a better and more devoted statewide fan base (or, at bare minimum, reward your loyal supporters!). To this end, we request that you: 1. Find some way to get the UPN 24 games to the rest of the state; 2. Attempt to get Bucks basketball radio broadcasts in the hands of affiliates who will make carrying each game a priority, as opposed to pre-empting them for coverage of other events; and 3. Consider scheduling a pre-season game in Madison and/or Green Bay, as was done in the past. Any help you can give us in these matters would be appreciated, and should also, we would like to think, pay dividends for Bucks basketball in the long run.
