CBS Radio Steps Back From Email Banning Vegas Hockey Team.

As Las Vegas prepares to welcome its first professional sports team, the National Hockey League’s Golden Knights, the local CBS Radio cluster is walking back from an internal email instructing staffers not to cover the team on-air or online, or engage in promotional activities.

In a statement, CBS Las Vegas senior VP/market manager Tony Perlongo said the original memo “missed the mark” and instructions to only cover some aspects of the team were “an error in judgment.”

“With six radio stations in Las Vegas we have always prided ourselves on informing, educating and entertaining listeners and supporting the local communities we serve. However, we missed the mark in an internal email that instructed our stations to no longer report on certain aspects of the Golden Knights, the city’s first and only major league sports team,” Perlongo said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “This was an error in judgement on our part and we deeply regret it. We will of course cover the team, first and foremost on Sports Radio 1140 [KXST] and on our music and news/talk stations as it makes sense for those formats and audiences. We apologize to the Golden Knights, their fans and our listeners and look forward to rooting the team on when the puck drops in a few weeks.”
