Changes coming this week in print, digital editions of Review-Journal Sports
The Review-Journal Sports will unveil some new features beginning this week. Those changes began in Sunday’s print edition with columnist Ron Kantowski debuting his Las Vegas Insider. He will report on the sports people that make up the city.
The debuts continue today with Todd Dewey writing the UNLV Sports Notebook, looking at the teams that don’t get as much publicity as the men’s basketball and the football teams.
The new lineup of daily notebooks in print includes:
* Sunday: Ron Kantowski’s Las Vegas Insider.
* Monday: Mark Anderson and Todd Dewey on the week ahead for UNLV, focusing on the school’s Olympic sports teams.
* Tuesday: Adam Hill’s MMA Notebook.
* Wednesday: Freelancer Stephanie Forte debuts her Active Sports Notebook.
* Thursday: Brian Hurlburt begins an Area Golf Notebook.
* Friday: Ron Kantowski’s Motor Sports Notebook.
* Saturday: Steve Carp’s Boxing Notebook moves from Sundays.
All of these features will be available one day earlier at ReviewJournal.com/Sports.
HORSE RACING STATS STAY
We originally planned to eliminate horse racing entries and results from Southern California tracks. But many readers asked us to keep them. We listened. And they’re staying. Find them on our Scoreboard page every race day.
OTHER CHANGES
As previously reported, this week we will:
— No longer carry Richard Eng’s handicapping for Southern California horse racing tracks.
— The weekly TV Timeout on Fridays will be replaced with a list of best bets to watch each weekend. That will not affect the weekend TV listings printed on that same page in the Friday print edition.
— Channel numbers for Cox cable will no longer run with the TV listings in Sports. We feel this causes too much confusion for area customers of Century Link cable, AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV and Dish Network. We still will print the sports TV listings every day on Page C2 with the event, time and TV network.
We have received a lot of great feedback from readers on what you think we need to do to improve the Sports section. We’re always open to suggestions. Speak up by emailing bbradley@reviewjournal.com or calling 702-387-2909. I try to reply to every email and phone call.
