When we first began our audio Game-of-the-Week broadcasting back in 2013 we saw it as a way to bring high school basketball to players, families, friends and fans who could not get to the LIVE game. There were only two ways to see or “hear” a basketball game back then and it was either in person or through our audio broadcasts.
With the advance of technology, band width, and hot spots (not to mention the Covid outbreak) virtually all Delaware County high schools now operate some form of video broadcast streaming of all of their boys and girls basketball games. It is a wonderful use of technology and will certainly enhance everyone’s ability to watch their teams.
The downside is that our listenership plummeted last year as very few people were interested in “listening” to a broadcast when they could watch it. Granted the vast amount of broadcasts were simple single “automated” camera shots with no play-by-play but watching is better than listening and we found ourselves broadcasting to 10-20 people.
We have a broadcast crew and we have single camera video streaming ability so we are available to any Delaware County high school that would like us to come in a produce a first quality video broadcast (at no cost) for their special games and match-ups. If you’re an Athletic Director and would like our services just drop us a note at delcohoops@aol.com.
In the meantime we’ll working on putting together a list of all the You Tube sites for the various high school live game streams.
