The purchase of a Month Pass during the U.P.

Basketball contests dominate the content this week for School Broadcast Program members, which will again have cameras at over 40 sporting events.

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.
