Broadcasts Back on MHSAA.TV, FSD

August 28, 2013

The new school year begins on the MHSAA Network this week with school-created content on MHSAA.tv, the season launch of MHSAA Football Friday Overtime on FOX Sports Detroit, and a new season of MHSAA Perspective on a statewide radio network.

MHSAA.tv: The School Broadcast Program gives member schools an opportunity to create video programming, with students gaining skills in announcing, camera operation, and graphics using software provided by PlayOn! Sports. The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions. As many as 60 MHSAA member schools annually participate in the program, which is in its fifth year.

Here’s the schedule of School Broadcast Program members planning to cover Week One football games, some of which will be available at MHSAA.tv shortly after each game’s conclusion (as of Aug. 27):

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