With the spring regular season winding down, this week’s offerings of live streams on MHSAA.tv feature live coverage of the running finals of an MHSAA Division 1 Track & Field Regional. 

The School Broadcast Program at Lake Orion High School will cover the Regional action involving 17 schools beginning at 5 p.m. Friday (May 17).

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.
