There are a number of football games this Friday with live streaming video on MHSAA.tv being produced by members of the School Broadcast Program.

Starting to the North – Calumet (4-0 league, 4-1 overall) hosts Iron River West Iron County (2-1, 3-2) in a West PAC game as the Copper Kings seek to stay on top. In the Saginaw Valley League, Davison (3-0, 4-1) hosts Midland (3-0, 3-2) in a game that will break up some of the three-top logjam with Lapeer. In the Genesee Athletic Conference Red, Montrose (3-1, 3-2) welcomes Corunna (3-0, 5-0) as it seeks to stay relevant in that division. To the west in the O-K Conference Red, Rockford (2-0, 3-2) hosts Grandville (3-0, 5-0) with the top spot on the line. All of these games start at 7 p.m.

In its eighth year, the School Broadcast Program gives members an opportunity to showcase excellence in their schools by creating video programming of athletic and non-athletic events with students gaining skills in announcing, camera operation, directing/producing and graphics.

The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.  

All sporting events – live or delayed - are available on a subscription basis only for their first 72 hours online.  They become available for free, on-demand viewing approximately 72 hours following their completion.

The NFHS Network has announced new pricing for 2016-17, eliminating the Day Pass and lowering the cost of a Month Pass to $9.95. Subscribers will have access to all live video and streaming statistics across the country. All content becomes available for free, on demand viewing 72 hours after being shown live. Some schools also will be selling Annual Passes at a discounted rate. A portion of every subscription sold by a school goes to benefit its program.

The SBP programming schedule is expected to expand now that school is in session across the state.  A complete list of participating schools can be found on the School Broadcast Program page of the MHSAA website. Schools interested in becoming a part of the School Broadcast Program should contact John Johnson at the MHSAA Office.
