Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School State Tournament TV coverage???

Are there any stations covering any or all of the tournaments? Any that will be aired in Wichita area?

Smoky Hills Public Television - Bunker Hill, KS will have live coverage of the 321A quarterfinals, semifinals, consolation and championship finals.

That is unbelievable coverage.

Anyone know when they will re-air? I would especially be interested in any stations broadcasting them in the KC area. I think the Topeka station broadcast them last year.

They usually don't re-air them until like April, but yes they do normally re-air them on KTWU - channel 11 out of Topeka. Either watch the TV listings or if you call them they might be able to tell you when to watch.

Smoky Hills Public Television will once again bring you LIVE coverage of the 2007 Kansas High School 3-2-1A State Wrestling Championships. Starting on Friday, Feb. 23rd at 1:30pm we will bring you the Quarter and the Semi-final match-ups.

Are there any possibilities of getting something like this going for 5A-6A like channel 8 (KPTS)??

No!

No sponsors willing to underwrite the endeavor.

I have seen several events that have been podcasted. Anyone think that this can be done? could be an interesting thing to look in to.

I e-mailed Malinda with Smokey Hills Public Television yesterday afternoon. She told me they're actually airing the Hays tourney on Direct TV & Dish Network. From what I understand, it will be live like their antenna/cable channel. She wasn't sure what the Direct TV/Dish Network channels are. I checked on line and found out the Direct TV channel is #384 & the Dish Network channel is #249. They said if you have the "local into local" feed, it would be channel 9 (for Direct & Dish). I don't have either one of these systems so I can't verify. Would someone like to investigate????

I just had a family member of mine that has Dish Network verify he has access to SHPT. He does!! Channel 9...He looked ahead to Friday's programming schedule & confirmed Kansas High School wrestling is set to start airing @ 1:30 PM....Sweet!

I couldn't find it on Directv but I'll look again.
