100 Stations Carry MHSAA's 'This Week'
September 17, 2019
By John Johnson
MHSAA Director of Broadcast Properties
More than 100 over-the-air radio stations and internet audio website are carrying the MHSAA Network’s flagship program, This Week In High School Sports, as part of their weekly high school sports programming for the third straight year.
The five-minute program, powered by Michigan Student Aid, is in its fifth year. It leads off each week with feature stories from around the state from the MHSAA’s Second Half, or from network affiliated stories and interviews. This Week Game Balls are then presented for team or individual achievements in the past week. Be The Referee, a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating, comes in the middle of the show, and is followed by a closing MHSAA Perspective.
This week’s show will feature the inspirational story of Larry Prout Jr. at Pinckney High School, present game balls in 8-player football to Powers North Central and in boys soccer to Gaylord; address a swimming rules change during Be The Referee and conclude with an MHSAA Perspective on how most decisions in high school sports take place at the local level.

Hockey Showdowns Highlight Dot-TV
January 23, 2018
By John Johnson
MHSAA Director of Broadcast Properties
Two showdowns of top-five teams in Division 1 ice hockey highlight this week’s schedule of events on MHSAA.tv being produced by participants in the School Broadcast Program.
Second-ranked Orchard Lake St. Mary’s hosts Division 2 second-ranked Birmingham Brother Rice on Wednesday (Jan. 24) and fifth-ranked Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook Kingswood on Saturday (Jan. 27) in contests at the St. Mary’s Athletic Complex. Face-off each night is 7:30 p.m.
More than 100 live sporting events are scheduled on MHSAA.tv this week, produced by SBP participants. A total of 58 games at the varsity level will be covered, with more to be added as the week progresses. Sixty-nine of the games will be produced by schools using Pixellot, the NFHS Network’s automated coverage solution. Be sure to check “Upcoming Events” on the MHSAA.tv home page daily for last-minute additions.
In its ninth 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. Pixellot is used by schools wishing to live stream games, but that lack the ability to staff the events. The SBP program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.
Here’s this week’s MHSAA.tv schedule of video streams being produced by SBP members:
