Supporters of Pennsylvania high school sports can now listen to state championship games from virtually anywhere in the world.
The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association is launching the PIAA Radio Network, the first of its kind in the state, the organization announced Tuesday.
The new platform will debut Thursday with the first of six broadcasts covering the PIAA Football Championship games.
The free audio network will be accessible through the PIAA website (piaa.org) and streamed on its YouTube channel (youtube.com/@PIAARadioNetwork), providing access for listeners not only across Pennsylvania, but wherever there’s internet access.
Broadcast teams will rotate throughout the championship series, featuring play-by-play announcers Bob McCool and Eric Thomas, color analysts Travis Sparks and Cade Pribula, and producer James Dotson.
“We’re really excited about this new opportunity,” said Dr. Robert Lombardi, the PIAA’s executive director. “This is something we’ve been working toward for quite some time, and to see it come to fruition is remarkable. We’re expanding the state’s footprint and providing more recognition to our member schools, their student-athletes and their communities.”
