January 4, 2017
By John Johnson
MHSAA Communications Director
The MHSAA again will recognize the efforts of its members participating in the School Broadcast Program through the fourth annual SBP Excellence Awards, which is now accepting applications for content produced during the 2016-17 school year.
SBP schools can submit up to three entries in each of six categories: Best single-camera production, best multi-camera production, best use of graphics, best produced local commercials/features, best student play-by-play announcers and best highlight clip.
The SBP Excellence Awards will be used in selecting the Program of the Year. Other criteria for Program of the Year include quantity and quality of productions and sports covered, best command of graphics software, initiative to cover home and away athletic contests, and initiative/creative in selling local advertising and subscriptions.
Montrose High School has won the Program of the Year award the past three years.
More details about the 2016-17 SBP Excellence Awards, and an online entry form, can be found on the School Broadcast Program page of the MHSAA Website. (For more details, CLICK HERE; to go to the entry form, CLICK HERE)
The deadline for submitting entries is 4 p.m. Feb. 15.
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 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.

MHSAA TV Set for Record Winter

The MHSAA.tv record for most events broadcast during one week is likely to be broken regularly this winter.
This week, more than 200 events from athletic contests to school board meetings to school musicals will be streamed live over the MHSAA.tv page on the NFHS Network, with those events produced by participants in the School Broadcast Program.
Three more schools using the Network’s automated production solution – Pixellot – have indoor units coming online this week: Southfield Christian, St. Clair Shores Lake Shore and Stevensville Lakeshore. Of the 74 schools in the School Broadcast Program, more than 50 use Pixellot to stream some or all of their games.
