EAST LANSING, Mich. – Oct. 6 – Among the live events available this week on MHSAA.tv is a live football game for the top spot in the OK Conference Blue Division with Grand Rapids West Catholic at Comstock Park Friday at 7 p.m.

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.
