Cablevision was the
third owner of the Rangers by the time the 1995 "season" got going (thanks for nothing, Lockout of 1994!)
Paramount was the owner of the Rangers at the time they won the Cup. Did everybody forget the ads all over the Garden for the TV shows on UPN? And did everybody forget the elegant, white-haired man in the tuxedo who held the Cup aloft on the ice? He was from Paramount (and apparently
I've forgotten his name which I've never forgotten before. F*#k!). Viacom came right after, or possibly during the Cup Finals. Months later, Viacom was sold to Cablevision, so when the Rangers finally raised the banner, Cablevision was the owner. And we've been
facked ever since.
