That program is followed by Rusanowsky's "Teal Report” and "The Buildup" with Ted Ramey, which lead into the official 30-minute Sharks pre-game show.
Ted Ramey (@TedRameyMedia), who has served as the host of “Morning Tide,” for the last six seasons, will return as a lead contributor to Sharks Audio Network programming. “Morning Tide” will continue to be heard the morning after every Sharks game this season.
In addition to live Sharks games, listeners can find background stories on the current cast of Sharks players on "Sharks Spotlight," and learn what former their favorite Sharks alumni are up to today on "Where Are They Now?"
Remenda has recently launched "The Art of Coaching," in which he speaks with coaches from around the sports world about their journey into coaching and philosophies surrounding the profession.
"The Undercurrent” with Tara Slone (@TaraSlone) also returns this season and will bring listeners positive stories from the hockey community in the South Bay and beyond.
And of course, there will be exclusive live press conferences, breaking news, interviews with Sharks players, coaches, the front office and more – available all season long.
