Winter Sports Underway on MHSAA TV

December 2, 2015

By John Johnson
MHSAA Communications Director

A bevy of basketball and ice hockey games are available this week on MHSAA.tv – most of them live –streamed by students involved in the MHSAA’s School Broadcast Program.

In its seventh 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 On-Demand – 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.

Here’s the schedule of School Broadcast Program events that members plan to stream this week for broadcast at MHSAA.tv.  On-Demand listings may be available as soon as one hour following an event’s completion.  (List as of Dec. 1):

Wednesday – Dec. 2

Friday – Dec. 4

Saturday – Dec. 5

Monday – Dec. 7

Tuesday – Dec. 8

Schools interested in becoming a part of the School Broadcast Program should contact John Johnson at the MHSAA Office.
