MHSAA TV: 1,000 Live Events & Growing
September 24, 2019
By John Johnson
MHSAA Director of Broadcast Properties
Less than two months into the 2019-20 school year, MHSAA.tv is topping the 1,000 mark for live streamed video of interscholastic athletic events on the NFHS Network.
Just a year ago, just under 300 live streams had been produced by a combined 34 schools. This week began with MHSAA.tv having streamed 986 events originated at 84 schools.
