Says the public by the ratings. There's a reason there's not much hockey talk on local sports radio. 980 or 105.7 aren't not spending a lot of time on hockey out of defiance. There's a market for everything, there's just not a big enough market to trump the Redskins, Wizards/Terps/Hoyas, or the Nationals. The Caps are the best team in the sport, they're still an afterthought when anything else is going on.
