The Islanders had very limited over-the-air television in the 1970s and early '80s as they shared WOR with the Rangers , Knicks and Nets . In their first two seasons, home games were televised by Teleprompter Cable . Cable coverage returned on HBO for the 1975 playoffs and 1975-76 season . Home telecasts went to LI Cable (later renamed SportsChannel ) and have remained there since.
The full schedule was not carried on radio until 1978–79 . WHN (1972 –74 ) and WMCA (1974 –78 ) carried all home games and most road games, but conflicts with Nets home games prevented some road games from being on radio.
