HBO's first sports broadcast was of aNew York Rangers-Vancouver Canucks NHL game, transmitted to aService Electric cable system inWilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on November 8,1972. From 1972 to 1974, HBO used only one announcer on Rangers games soMarty Glickman, who was in charge ofHBO Sports, hired other announcers to replace him when he was unavailable, generally owing to hisradio commitments toGiants football.
Win Eliot called the Rangers games on WPIX-11 as part ofThe Saturday Night Sports Special. In the early 1960s, the Rangers played Saturday afternoon games, which weretape delayed[1] for evening re-broadcast on Channel 11. The Saturday night[2] hockey games were almost always shown at 9 p.m. Road games were usually aired live if the Rangers were atChicago, where the game was at 8:30 p.m., and afterexpansion, inSt. Louis orMinnesota, where 9 p.m. would be the actual start time. In the 1964–65 season, Win Elliott did all the Saturday night games until March 20, which was the first Saturday of the racing season atAqueduct, where Elliott hosted a Saturday afternoon series. Jim Gordon therefore, did the last two Saturday nights of the season. When the Rangers weren't scheduled on Saturday nights, Channel 11 would run events such as track and field andECAC Basketball. This occurred from 1962 to 1965, before the Knicks and Rangers moved to Channel 9. They even showed a different NHL game on occasion, which was the case on March 27, 1965, when Jim Gordon went to Toronto to do aDetroit-Toronto game for WPIX.
The Rangers' home game against theMontreal Canadiens on February 25, 1940, was the firstNational Hockey League game to ever be broadcast on television.

For many years when he was the radio voice of the Rangers, Marv Albert missed more games than he called. Marv had multiple commitments that forced him to miss games. The alternate radio play-by-play announcers from1985–1987 actually did more games than Marv Albert. In his 19-year career as the color commentator,Sal Messina worked with 18 different play-by-play partners, even though nominally his only partners were Marv orKenny Albert. Messina also did play-by-play on several games. Sal Messina also sometimes did TV, filling in forBill Chadwick,Phil Esposito, and laterJohn Davidson. So there were some additional radio analysts at times.Pete Stemkowski,Dave Maloney,Ron Greschner,Pierre Larouche,Emile Francis,Chris Nilan, andUlf Nilsson filled in for Messina. During the years when only the non-televised road games were broadcast, at times the TV crew,Sal Marchiano/Bill Chadwick (in 1972–73),Jim Gordon/Chadwick, and Gordon/Phil Esposito later did the games on radio, especially on lengthy road trips.

It was not until the 1987–88 season that all Rangers' games was broadcast locally on radio in New York; for many years prior to that, only home games and (after the late 1940s) a handful of away games were heard. Regular-season away games heard on radio after the early 1960s were generally not broadcast locally on television.
