The MHSAA will provide live audio broadcasts of many championships throughout the year on MHSAAnetwork.com.  The network also includes a number of regular season games broadcasted by host schools.

Also, each week throughout the school year the MHSAA will post a weekly school sports commentary called "MHSAA Perspective."

Since its launch in the fall of 2008, the MHSAA Network has created thousands of hours of original programming of regular season and MHSAA tournament contests, enjoyed in over one million homes in the Lower Peninsula served by Comcast Channel 900.

The MHSAA and PlayON! Sports Midwest continue to work at securing additional cable clearances with other providers in non-Comcast service areas – another 800,000-plus homes. It’s one thing for those folks to hear from us that fans want to see high school games on their cable systems – it’s a much more powerful request when it comes from their customers.

We encourage you that if you live outside Comcast’s service area to call your local cable provider and tell them that you want to see MHSAA Network programming in your community. Among those providers are:

The School Broadcast Program was launched in to provide schools with a safe place to stream video of their athletic and non-athletic school events, provide a hands-on learning experience for students interested in video production, and serve as an exciting new fundraising platform.

Just over 20 schools, most of them from the Capital Area Activities Conference in Mid-Michigan, participated in the pilot project in 2009-10, and produced over 600 events that were streamed live (non-athletic events) and on-demand (athletic events) on the MHSAA.TV Website.  More than double that number of events were produced in 2010-11, and 2011-12 will be another record-setting year for content.

The MHSAA.tv Website is now being populated with content from member schools from both peninsulas participating in the Digital Broadcasting Program.  A total of 65 schools are involved in the program from the Big 8 Conference, Big 9 Conference, Detroit Catholic High School League, Charter School Conference, Downriver League, Flint Metro League, Genesee Athletic Conference, Huron League, Kalamazoo Valley Association, Kensington Lakes Activities Association, Macomb Area Conference, Michigan Interscholastic Hockey League, Northwest Conference, Oakland Activities Association, O-K Conference, Saginaw Valley League, Southeastern Conference, Southwestern Athletic Conference, Southwestern Michigan Athletic Conference (Big 16), Tri-Valley Conference, West Michigan D League, West-Pac Conference and the Wolverine Conference.
