IHSAAtv Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 An update concerning watching games on line: By rule all sectional games and currently, all regional games, must be free to watch during the live broadcast by approved TV stations and webcasters. Optionally, affiliates of the IHSAA Champions Network may place their replays behind a paywall and may sell downloads of games as an MP4. Non-affiliated stations may not charge for replays or offer downloads. You can see who is approved at this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vS2xXkBa6WtFBOEUq7oGTDvpDBwGDFkCfOiGJXEwulYHAXU4p-EhrSCAPrnrovq2bnDvEkOZUas9tGv/pubhtml IHSAAtv.org, in partnership with Hamilton County TV, will produce 'Game Day' that rotates live video between 12 active games and will contain a scoreline crawl of scores. Game day will air this Friday's sectional championships, during the regional and will be provided as part of an all-access pay per view package during the semistate. Semi-State games will be pay-per-view. The IHSAA released the intent to charge at this tournament level in September. There will be an option to purchase a single game, or at for an additional fee, all 12 games can be watched live and during the replay. This is the first year that all 12 games will be available on line to those who can't or won't attend due to COVID. The decision to charge to watch is due the costs of hiring talent and the 12 companies to create productions for airing on IHSAAtv.org. State finals rights are owned by Fox Sports Indiana. All games will air on FSI. For viewers outside of the Fox Sports Indiana coverage area, a live stream will be available at IHSAAtv.org. For those within the FSI coverage area, the stream will be available only on delayed basis following the conclusion of the telecast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor77 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 So none of the affiliates would be doing semi states, or would you hire them to broadcast and put it behind your paywall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
