The NFHS Network School Broadcast Program (SBP) makes it easy for students to produce live video broadcasts by providing the software, tools and training they need for free. With our proprietary technology, schools can produce and distribute high quality events throughout the year including regular season sports, graduation, band, cheer events, as well as other school activities. 

Broadcasting these events on the NFHS Network provides a way for a school to showcase its students and activities while strengthening the connection with parents, players, boosters and the community. The platform allows both live streaming and archiving for on-demand viewing. Your fans will be able to watch your school’s events whenever they want, wherever they are. 

Becoming part of the NFHS Network School Broadcast Program is free and you can get started with as little as a camera, a laptop and an Internet connection.

There are three components of the NFHS School Broadcast Program that make this opportunity specifically attractive to schools in the membership. Those three areas are education, community and fundraising.

The NFHS Network School Broadcast Program provides a platform for students to learn about production and broadcast journalism in an educational setting. The program gives students an unprecedented opportunity to gain hands-on video production and on-camera experience. Participation in the program helps prepare students for college and professional careers in the journalism industry.

The School Broadcast Program provides schools with a platform to showcase excellence and to enhance their connection with the community. Participating schools have a dedicated school-branded channel that makes reaching alumni, friends, and family outside the local area easy. Broadcasting school events is a unique way to increase school spirit throughout the community.

Live broadcasts of sporting events on the NFHS Network require viewers to purchase a pass to watch. The pass model enables schools to participate in the School Broadcast Program for free and provides an opportunity for the school to raise money. Schools receive 50 percent or more of the proceeds from school produced live events.
